Hindsight's 20-20 so can't bag on the kid either way. Plus not sure how he gets around with balls as big as his.

I've never hidden the fact that I believe that you should stay on the bike unless it's going to land on you. I personally think that this is a great example of that. You can clearly see that the bike landed on it's wheels and the suspension compressed. So why not use that to your advantage?
I noticed that in the Youtube comments a few were saying that staying on the bike would've compressed/broke his spine. Unless I'm not seeing something right, hitting the ground with your feet on the pegs (using the suspension) will be "softer" then hitting the dirt with your feet directly.
Granted you'll still get banged up by staying on but I'm pretty sure that your chances will be better.
BTW any update on the damage to him?
