I did the exact same thing! I was totally winning when I turned around to gloat. My difference is that I hit a bollard meant to block vehicles from taking the path. I did a complete somersault over the handlebars and landed flat on my back. It's a miracle that I didn't hit my un-helmeted head on the pavement and was able to walk away unscathed.
