Actually, if you're a nervous rider and have been run away with, this comes over as patronising and dismissive. No matter that you could have died from concussion, no matter if you spent six weeks lying immobilised on a sofa with a broken ankle, no matter how much guilt you were already feeling because you should have stood up (I tried; I felt my broken bone shift sideways in my boot as I put weight on it and fell fainting and vomiting to the icy lane) and GOT BACK ON THE FUCKING HORSE apparently one was only "run away with" so even daring to suggest that one might have been - yanno - permanently (mildly) disabled means one's clearly over-reacting.
