I've popped a wheelie while going down a road before and had a pretty awesome/scarey experience. Poor stock grab bar didn't know what hit it. I layed her back in 3rd, and went to hit the brake... only when i did... my right side was off in the grass.... so it slid... and the left side gripped instantly. Spun the shee around and the grab bar caught on the edge of the ashault and layed it over upside down on me. Helmet took most of the beating since my throttle assembly came down on the side of it. Wasn't hurt much since i landed in the ditch, and it was easy to flip off of me... but I had a new respect for the terrain I ride on now, and a much higher respect for helmets and what they can save you in the long run.
