After watching lots of video clips of lowside crashes I've noticed a
common theme that runs through nearly all of them. The rider utters
the word "****" as he hits the ground ;-)

I did!

I didn't utter one word at all,
couldn't really when all the wind was knocked out of me for a couple of
minutes
But, I may have uttered

Lowsides, They're those nice gentle laydowns where you're tipped right
over and you're almost on the ground anyway so there's little damage to
be done when you contact it? Nup. Never been there. I seem to get
thrown at the ground in a very violent fashion every time.

I didn't say much when I saw the car coming through the intersection but I
stayed awake afterwards and kind of got in an "Oh **** **** **** **** ..."
chant, especially when I saw my right shoulder facing forward instead of out
to the side.

I didn't say a word on my last occasion. Very uncharacteristic. Just
got up, turn off the ignition, calmy moved the pannier that slid off
to the side of the road and picked up the bike. It's all on my camera
too Just too chicken **** to put it online just incase my
grapefruit finds it.

That type of lowside is pretty rare on the road but the far more common
front-brake lose is often referred to as a low-side too.
