Ouch!
Same thing happened to me recently with a water-filled pothole. It really hurts when you hit the deck hard, doesn't it?
My ribs are still affecting my ability to sleep six weeks later - they seem to take ages to heal.
I don't know about you, but I've been kicking myself ever since for not concentrating harder. I know it's risky riding through puddles as you don't know how deep they are, as I guess you know to avoid anti-slip paving. A moment of daydreaming is all it takes.
Get well soon.

I had moved over as someone was walking down the path , i guess the second set sticking out caught my un aware . You can see my tyre marks on the last ridge . Lucky i wasn't going at any kind of speed ..... Or fallen the other way down the steps 
...... and into the river
Bike is scratched on the rear mech , handle bars and brake lever . The forks on the other side are scratched where someone moved my bike out the way and lent it against a parapet wall

That looks like it could be the wrong paving for the intended use. It looks like it maybe should be flat-topped ladder/tramline (which is bad enough) but it's round-topped corderouy(sp!) which shouldn't be used near cycling.
Oh, and it's low contrast too, probably because someone thinks it's a heritage area... but there's black tarmac nearby so there's not really an excuse for not using a slightly different colour to the track.
