Well my first time was when my trainer was making me do balancing excercises on the horse. You can guess how good my balance is.
The second time wasn't my fault. Someone was giving me a leg up, didn't know their own strength and launched me right over the horse. I tried to save myself but it didn't work.

At least your saddle was on tight. That is more than I can say for myself and a big Western saddle. My military saddle had a circingle and there was never a question about that saddle being loose. Luckily, I was never bucked out of the military saddle. Although my boots were out of the stirrups a couple of times. One of those times I had a sabre in my hand which I threw away as soon as I determined the situation was out of control. Once my horse calmed down I went back and picked it up.
