I certainly hope your wife is OK. Dropping a 540 lb. bike on yourself has got to leave a mark. Bike parts are easily replaced, loved ones not.
I think that most bikes get dropped at least once during their ownership cycle. This is really the biggest fear I have with mine because once it starts going over it is 540 lbs in the middle of a second class lever and once that gets to a certain point there is just no bringing it back.
If she is still interested I would suggest the MSF safe driver course. They use 250 size bikes for the very reason that they don't get out of hand as easily as a bigger bike would.
