Oh, and keep braking to a bare minimum.
True.
My second to last race last year: A pile up at the sprint. A bike in front of me is cartwheeling. I sat down but stayed my course and slowed my pedalling. The bike slammed into my right leg and bounced off. I stayed upright but lost a few places to end up 9th. Two guys went to the ER. I went home with dirty chamios.
It all happened in a few secoonds.
