It happens...more to those of us that are slow to learn....That is exactly why I stopped mounting up when the bike was running. I wait till I am on it, depress the rear brake, and then fire it up.
Also, some or maybe all of the new bikes with traction control require the bike to be motionless until the engine is started and the self-check is complete.
I dropped a bike on my car in the garage and did about $2K worth of damage to it, about a year ago. Foot slipped on the centerstand, water on the floor. Very stupid on my part.
