Falling and crashing are not the same. Practice with your knee pads, elbow pads and helmet. Wear your wrist braces under your slide gloves and don't be afraid to fall. The more you practice falling onto your "plastic" the less often that a fall feels like a "crash". Sliding on your hands and knees at high speeds helps to improve your skills, and gives you the ability to learn new slides, stops and moves without getting hurt.
