Actually guys, I just figured it out.
This is a staged video on how not to ride 2-up. There are more the 3 dozen 2-up code violations in this video and if you identify them within 60 seconds of seeing the video you pass the class.

Showed this video to the wife, while we were out back drinking the beers. She said the woman was never knocked out and it was just a sympathy thing.
I have to agree and think this hag has been playing that game all her life.
If you've ever been exposed to these type of people, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
We used to live next to 2 of them. Never forget the time they were bangin' on our door at midnight, wanting to use our shower to get the bugs off.
Their Harleys sat out in the weather year round.

Only watched the vid...didn't read all the replies. All I can say...I hope she's ok. Don't like to see any harm on anyone unless deserved.
Some here will/might say the stupidity earned it...can't really argue that point. But she was only "going for a ride". Unless I missed something, she did not deserve being victim to dumb ***'s poor riding ability and/or lack of sound instruction to end up knocked out on the ground. Nor did she deserve dumb ***'s reckless attempts to help her. A whole lotta dumbassery going on in this video!

I don't think this lady is acting.
After watching the video several times I'm thinking that she got the "wind knocked out of her".
I've had that happen to me a couple of times and what the person wants (at least me) is time to get their s**t together before answering the million questions that people are asking!

QUICK TIPS: Guidelines For Riding With A Passenger On Your Motorcycle - From MSF: Motorcycle Safety Foundation
Operator Preparation:
1.Passengers should be considered as a second “active” rider so they can help ensure that safety and procedural operations are correctly followed.
2.A passenger will affect the handling characteristics of a motorcycle due to the extra weight and independent motion. - FAIL
3.A passenger tends to move forward in quick stops and may “bump” your helmet with theirs.
4.Starting from a stop may require more throttle and clutch finesse. - FAIL
5.Braking procedures may be affected. Braking sooner and/or with greater pressure may be required.- FAIL
6.More weight over the rear tire may increase the usefulness and stopping power of the rear brake,
-especially in quick stop situations.- FAIL
7.Riding on a downgrade will cause braking distance to increase compared to a flat surface.- FAIL
8.Extra caution is called for in a corner because of the extra weight. Cornering clearances may be affected.
9.More time and space will be needed for passing.
10.The effects of wind, especially side wind, may be more pronounced.
General Safety Considerations:
1.You need to be experienced in the motorcycle’s operation and have a safety-oriented attitude before taking on the added responsibility of carrying a passenger.
2.Practice low-speed clutch/throttle control as well as normal and emergency braking in a low-risk area like an open parking lot, with a passenger.
3.Use caution in cornering and develop cornering skills over time to ensure passenger comfort and safety.
4.Use caution in corners as clearance may be affected.
5.Use MSF’s Search, Evaluate, Execute strategy (SEESM) to increase time and space safety margins.
6.Allow time for a passenger to adjust to the sense of speed and the sensation of leaning; speeds should be conservatively safe and reasonable until a passenger acclimates to the proper riding techniques.
7.Ensure passengers follow safety procedures: - FAIL
a.Complete personal protective gear is properly in use.- FAIL
b.Hold operator’s waist or hips, or motorcycle’s passenger hand-holds.- FAIL
c.Keep feet on footrests at all times, including while stopped. - FAIL
d.Keep hands and feet away from hot or moving parts. e.When in a corner, look over the operator’s shoulder in the direction of the corner.
f.Avoid turning around or making sudden move - FAIL
