This is so me.
Except for the breaking bones bit. Thankfully, I've never broken a bone, but I've cracked quite a few and sprained a few joints.
I've cycled in the rain, it's a bit tricky sometimes, depending on the surface. I did a 90 degree left turn on wet concrete at almost twice the speed I should have (it was at the end of a downhill, poor decision-making) and got scraped up badly. This was like 15 years ago and turns like that still scare me.
My most embarrassing one was riding a bike in Paris. Believed I could bounce the front wheel up on to the pavement. Bike stops, I go sideways and injure my wrist reaching out to break my fall. Decided to insist I was okay because it was easier than dealing with three simultaneous well meaning, but rapid French conversations. Preferred to just slip away pretending not to be in pain. Possibly cracked a bone as it took so long so heal, but decided not to go and find out. Pain is easier than negotiating hospitals abroad. 😏😳
