How does one land in a crash to break a collarbone? I almost always land
on my butt when crashing.


Going over the "high-side" in a turn might do it. This can put your
shoulder on the ground with the bike riding you. (I can personally
attest that doing this on a motorcycle can break your collarbone.)

arm or across chest...

Two different ways. The pro's manage by flying off bikes and sliding into stuff
at such high speeds stuffs gonna break. Oh, and like the article said by having
zilcho in the upper body strength. A lot of these guys are way off the bell
curve in nutrition and fitness and it isn't exactly agile people who take up the
suffer sports.

Ordinary people do it by extending an arm to catch themselves when they fall.
The elbow locks out transfers impact to the shoulder, collarbone gives. Best
thing to learn, do not try to stiff-arm the planet.

yahoo’s cycle sports home page has podium photo with Armstrong
favoring the clavicle injury.
He does sound winded.

In the same spirit of reliability as the National Enquirer? Very similar
ethics and management after all.

Not new. Teams were warned about it during the Tour of Schwarzenegger
back in February.
