Haha, I'm glad your okay. Same thing happened to me when I was about... 10!
We have a little (3-4m) drop off down the back near the shed. I was riding an adult sized quad around and it was my first go by myself. As you can imagine I didn't weigh much and could barely control this thing. I came out of the paddock pretty quickly and hit a rock on my left side. The rock flipped the whole thing over the drop off and I landed on pavement with this massive quad on top of me. I had to wait there until my dad and his mate (owner) came and got me. They pulled the thing off and started checking me over seeing if I was okay but I was fine! Had a few scratches on my hand where they had gotten in the way of the handlebar and the pavement as well as a huge scratch on the side of my helmet. But other then that I was ok!
The funny thing was is that I was walking around for about 10 minutes beforehand looking for my gloves. If I had found them I might have walked away completely scratch free!
