A brief comment about the importance of holding onto your handlebars: Failure to do so is, I think, the #1 cause of accidents! Watch almost any mountain bike accident video and what to you see? Lots of sharply turned handlebars preceding the real accident!
The #2 cause is probably failure to slow down when necessary. The trick to going fast is knowing when to go slow. (Not that I ever go very fast compared to pros, but it's still a nice mantra.)
