I'm trying to figure out what made the rider panic brake like that. Whatever it was it must have spooked him bad!

I hate seeing vids like this but it appeared he was at least OK...

A) His following distance was severely inadequate.

B) This was the best advertisement for leathers I have ever seen.

Speed to fast for conditions, not enough follow distance and not paying attention. Glad he and the bystanders are all OK.

For some reason he panicked, then grabbed too much front brake. The rest, as they say, is history.
