Had a friend do an endo over a mini-van a couple of years back. Ugh. He was southbound, the other driver (northbound) turned left into McDonald's (to warch: the one on 15th, north of campus). Only problem, the drive-through was full, and there was no room to pull out of oncoming traffic, so he just stopped perpendicularly. My friend didn't have time to stop, though the bike was able to, and he somersaulted, landed on his face (ruined the full helmet he got THAT DAY), and hit the curb.
I actually drove by shortly after it happened and remember thinking, damn. Whoever was on the losing end of that must be in bad shape. Sure enough, he was.
So remember, always assume the other guy will do something stupid. It's saved my life once or twice.
