This has happened to me several times. For some reason I don't hold onto the bars very well when climbing and sometimes my hands come off the bars. This is followed by falling chest first onto the bars and unclipping. I usually then start rolling back down the hill riding the bike backwards with the pedals beating the crap out of my legs. The only thing funnier that that is when I do it with people behind me and I end up bowling them over.
LOL! The mental image of this is pretty funny.

Only time I crash uphill is when something bizarre happens like when I slip out trying to power over a rock in a technical section and I have to put my foot down onto a bad slippery spot or something.
