I have watched the video and I don't understand all the comments that the guy did not hit the brakes. I can clearly see him move his right hand to the front brake before impact. In the slow mo video when he is in the air you can see skid marks of his rear tire. He did not grab a lot of front brake because that would have flipped him or dropped him. That is also why the front of the bike does not dip with the brakes. If you hit the rear brakes hard the front wont dip much on its own.
If he had the rears locked and the fronts brakes applied and you also want him to turn to a safe place all at the same time. That's a lot to do at speed in 1 or 2 seconds.
