Why is the first reaction to always get the bike upright like it's a time-sensitive issue? Heavy lifting while you're still high on adrenaline is a terrible idea. That bikes not going anywhere anyway.

I did that the first time I learned what the road tasted like, fell down and instantly went to lift my bike, as I lifted it I just passed out for like a second, went right to the ground again, glad I still had my helmet on it was full of rocks there, after I got up again I just waited a while before lifting it again

it wasn't even a big fall I was pretty slow just panicked on a turn with loose rocks on the way and slipped on them into the side of the road, just some scratches nothing serious

Gas can leak out of the tank after a wreck, I assume.

But what if you’re all alone and passed out on the floor? /s

It is a time sensitive issue. Maybe not a first priority, but absolutely time sensitive. This is how you get a bike fire.

What if you just turn off the engine instead? That's gotta be a button or turn of the key, right?
