My experience after 25 years of riding -

Crashed 5 times [learning (2), locked rear brake (1), ice (2 in one 
day)] no injuries.

In 3 track days, never went down.

In two seasons of racing, went down once on a warm up lap for 
practice when I got hit by another rider. Only bruises.

For the safest riding, I would have to go with number 2. No oncoming 
traffic, excellent surface conditions, fewer distractions, and an 
ambulance parked nearby.
