I was riding my OpenEMoto build on the field and a strong rain started. My bike and myself were very wet, and at some point the bike stopped. I've a kelly controller and the red led signalled 3-3 error code (later, safe at home I learnt that the code means "Throttle short circuit or disconnected"). I had reset the controller and continued ride to home and then this happened:

I felt that the bike went full power without my input. I never thought that water and hall sensors will be a risk. I think that probably some dirt and water made the 5v line to connect to the signal line. This is a very dangerous condition!
I don't have a brake sensor, but will install one soon.
This bike is using the same motor/battery than my old build, it is very powerful (check here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HDfVYKeUqQ or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YO6QAL7AyU&t=56s )
This is not a rookie throttle mistake, I've been riding this for long.
Now I've an injuried knee, my 360 camera is cracked, and my Marzocchi 380 is broken in a very strange way: the left bottle is bent, so the stanchion cant slide. No cracks or signal of hits in the bottle.
I'm angry and sad.
Something like this happened before? Do you have any ideas on how to prevent this?
