Pure coincidence! When you're merrily tumbling along at 60 mph, tell me you have great control over what part of your anatomy will contact the macadam first. Even if you have enough presence of mind, fast enough reflexes, and fine enough motor control to direct your ear to go in first, the laws of physics might just reward you with a broken neck or a broken shoulder.
