Part of the problem was that he is the engineer of the bike, not the regular rider, so most likely had no idea just how fast that thing could accelerate or even how to handle it. More so then all the mommies on the list screaming "wear your gear!", don't get yourself in over your head, either with a motorcycle that's too big and powerful for you, or a situation in which you have no experience.

If you listen carefully to the part where the guy is lying on the ground, talking with a bystander, he claims that the throttle stuck open and that that's why he wasn't able to stop. At least, that's what it sounded like to me...
