No offense meant here but, brutally honest, that is a typical rookie mistake......LOOKING at the clutch lever or break pedal or shifter, when you should be looking where you are going.
Looking at the shifter won't help it shift better !!
Did you take a riding course ? Did they mention that in the course?
Apparently a LOT of new riders have that problem; maybe I did too......can't remember that far back !!
Glad you and the bike are OK. Yes, I think you are VERY lucky, under the circumstances. Hope the hand doesn't get worse; you could have cracked something in there.
