I have yet to tip my Harley over, did my Honda back in the 80s. Damaged turn signal and pride. I myself have also tipped over after too much barley pop. Long term damage undetermined other than relationships

I've tipped my bike over once(now I just jinxed myself). I was backing out of the garage, downhill and went just a bit too fast. All it did was scrape up my crash bars a bit. I'm just thankful that it didn't bust my bags up.

For future reference, when you ask a question give all the needed information.
What bike - modifications - surface it will be tipping on - etc.
After your response to the Queen, I would suggest throwing yourself under the bike to minimize damage to the bike.

Depends on the bike, the options on the bike, how hard it falls, what surface it falls on to... the engine guard I put on saved me once when I thought my stand was all the way down. As it started to go, I noticed it and slowed the fall and it just leaned over until it rested on the guard, then I lifted it back to being upright.

Yes...
