I bought the Superbike School DVD on Amazon for about a fiver and it's pretty good. I saw this pretty gentle crash on there - but I was pretty impressed with the way that James Whitham just slid along and pushed himself up. So I stuck it on Youtube, check it:-

I do like how cool he is about it afterwards - especially seeing as it was recorded duing a show hosted by him! :) He basically said "Yeah my fault, no excuses. Silly really"
 
he did everything correctly except getting up, you always stay down to make sure that you are not more hurt and running on adrenalin, other than that, he got low in case the bike was coming at him, got spread out after the tumbling to eleviate one spot taking all the friction and helping stop the clide faster.

We are both corner workers at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. We work the motorcycle races there about 8 weekends a year. We both see lots of crashes. One of the most common things after a crash is someone getting up and starting to walk (or try to lift their bike), not realizing they broke a collarbone or ankle or something.

Very important to do a once-over of yourself before you move.

Come on dear, I am not a corner worker anymore... I am a corner captain!!! I am the boss of whatever corner i am in!!!
 
My favourite bit is at 2.12 when some one says "Its not that bad" referring to the damage.
Its not that bad if you don't have to pay for it lol.
