I am primarily a roady, but 3 years ago I started racing Cyclocross because it looked fun. It is. I hope we add a CX forum here for next year. It would be a better place to put this. But, I think you'll enjoy it anyway.
This is a video of all the crashes I caught on video while racing cyclocross this year. This sport is loosely connected with road racing and MTB. Some of the crashes themselves look pretty spectacular but no one was hurt. Please let me know what you think.
Also, CX is a great way to develop bike handling skills.
Do you think it is good to know HOW to crash in the event it happens?

It is important to know how to crash to minimise injury. In CX I would expect that crashing/falling is a given.
Road cycling is different and in many cases falls are can be caused by the errors of other riders - and crashes can happen at far higher speeds which lessen reaction time when they do happen
