Wiping out on a moped isn't uncommon.. Especially when you're going off-road and you meet a big patch of mud. Those things slide instantly..
Well, one day I decided I wanted to take it up this gravel road to see what was up there. I made it up the hill fine but coming back down I screwed up somehow and wiped out. The result was a shattered back tail light. Now I am paralyzed with fear because I know my older cousin is gonna give me a real beating for messing up his moped. I sat there on the side of the road for about 2 hours dreading going back.
I eventually made it back and put the moped back like nothing happened. The next day I went home and never said a word about it. He ended up blaming some kid from down the road for doing it. I felt bad but I wasn't gonna get a beating from him. About 10 years later I told him though and we had a big laugh about it.
BTW, I could squash him like a grape now.
