ok, i will play along. below are the facts (let's assume the vid is real)
- it took about 9.3 secs from the moment the rider fell off, to him jumping back on the bike.
- i counted approx. 25 steps the rider took to chase the bike. let's say 1 step = 3 ft. so a total of 75 ft.
- the rider's running speed = 8.06 ft/sec = 9.44 kph
the corner speed for the slowest track is what? 60kph? and in the video it looked like the rider almost came out of the corner already so let's say at the SLOWEST, he was going at 60kph.
is it possible for the bike to go from 60kph, and decelerate to 9kph in 9 seconds on it's own engine brake? (rider no longer giving throttle input). probably.
but, what kind of G force created by acceleration is enough to throw the rider off? since agave is a big fan of physics like he's demonstrated in the "bicycle wheel thread". maybe he knows?
drag racers can't fall off from going from 0-100kph in 2-3 seconds, is it really possible that the rider in the video can just "fall off" the bike like that? very, very unlikely.
see, the math just doesn't add up. meaning it doesn't make sense. meaning, the video is made up.
