This is why motorcycles have two brakes

[Option13]

As if he would have stopped in time using the rear brake? Or even both?

When you are stopping so hard the back wheel is coming off the ground, or like in MotoGP where it's just skimming, and still don't stop in time, the problem isn't how you were braking - it's that you weren't braking earlier. Even if he had have kept the rear tire on the ground he still would have faceplanted on the car.

all possibly true option13 but considering the guy along side him kept 2 on the pavement and 0 face in the tail gate I would say the flying man just plain screwed up and didn't use back brake at all. Bottom line is user error for sure.

When I saw that I thought the guy was probably trying to stunt, which would explain why someone was filming it.

Dumba**, either way.

It's very clear that the crashing bike starts at a much higher speed.

that kind of makes sense but it is double dumb doing it in a group ride.
