This is pretty close to most of my experience, as well.  The times I  
have gotten bruised the worst are the times I tried to "hang on", or  
when it was more of a slam-dunk kind of fall.  Most of the time there  
is a short period where you feel yourself going, and that is when I  
start thinking about how I'm going to land ... and keep thinking  
about it as I'm flying through the air :)   You are right about which  
side of the horse your body knows how to fall off of.  Mine is the  
left side, too.  If I came off on the right side, I'd probably break  
something.
