It's an interesting idea Becky, but it does pre-suppose that it's not you lying on the floor under your bike with your leg bent back at a ridiculous angle. If you're lucky enough to be the uninjured member of a group, however...
I wonder if the other side: the dysentry, sting, bite, food poisoning, dehydration, fever, hypothermia etc. angles might be more pertinent to independent and potentially-solitary travellers of foreign lands. Is that a course or a book that's required?
