Mishaps and Free Lap Rule

*****
1A20. A mishap is a crash or a mechanical accident (tire puncture or
other failure of an essential component). However, a puncture caused by
the tire coming off due to inadequate gluing is not a mechanical
accident, nor is a malfunction due to mis-assembly or insufficient
tightening of any component. A recognized mishap is a stoppage that
meets the above conditions. An unrecognized mishap is a stoppage where
the above conditions are not met.
A broken toe strap or cleat is a mishap. A worn or misadjusted cleat or
toe strap is not a mishap. If more than one toe strap is used on a
pedal, breakage of one is considered a mishap. Any mishap not
immediately inspected by an official is unrecognized.

Doesn't getting run into count as a mishap?


Free Lap Rule
*****
3D5. Free Lap Rule. Riders shall normally cover the distance of the
race regardless of mishaps and must make up any distance lost on their
own ability unless a free lap is granted for mishaps. A free lap may be
granted for each mishap subject to the following rules unless the
official race announcement states that no free laps will be allowed. On
courses shorter than 1 km (.6 mile), two free laps shall be allowed for
a given mishap.
(a) Bicycle inspection and repairs must be made in an official repair
pit. If announced in advance by the Chief Referee, riders are permitted
to cut the course to get to a pit, but only while the free lap rule is
in effect. Either an official following vehicle shall transport riders
to a single repair pit, normally near the start/finish line, or riders
must proceed to a repair pit in accordance with Rule 3D2. If no
following vehicle is used, there should be repair pits at intervals of
1 km around the course.
(b) There must be a referee stationed in each repair pit to determine
if the mishap was a legitimate one and if the rider is entitled to a
free lap. The referee must keep track of all riders who are granted
free laps and submit a written report to the Chief Referee at the end
of the race.
(c) A rider who is granted a free lap must return to the race in the
position held at the time of the mishap. A rider who was in a group
shall return at the rear of the same group the next time around. A
rider returning to the race after a free lap shall be ineligible for
sprint prizes for one lap thereafter.
(d) There will be no free laps granted in the last 8 km of a race. A
rider who is ineligible for a free lap must make up any lost ground
