^ Sometimes it's best to find a good landing spot instead of trying to stay on. I still have a scar on my leg from 2 years ago staying on a wildly bouncing bike caught in an eroded downhill section on a rocky trail

Well in the couple of seconds I had I was trying to avoid going into the canal, but I came away from the bike nicely which I think is why I avoided any leg injuries.

I have 2 shin scars and one if them is kind of bicycle related, lifting my bike & climbing over a concrete stile when I was a kid, my foot slipped and I landed on my shin on the concrete edge.

As for tyres, not really ridden enough yet to get my own experience, but I have heard good things about Continental.

Nice photos btw, looks like a great place to ride.
