Group Ride Trouble

What happened to the guy in front I really can't say other than maybe he just thought he was not going to make it. I did not see the front or rear slide.
The dude with the camera was fairly close and had little reaction time to avoid the downed bike. Want good vids with a GoPro you need to be a little closer (or alot) than you may otherwise ride. He paid the price and was damn lucky not to be hurt or have the bike bouncing up taking him out for real.
Since the corner was not super tight the guys in the back were able to stop. That could have been really ugly in a sharper turn with a short sight line.
Good find Alan.

Look again. One of the guys coming up from behind panicked and wadded his bike onto the shoulder. Mr. Bluejeans on the yellow Duc almost crashed into the pile of bikes in the road.

But the rider doing the narrating seems to have learned from the incident, and is remarkably even-tempered about it. :thumbup
10. It helps me avoid someone else's crash. When riding in a group, it gives me time and space to react and avoid joining the stack of motorcycles if someone screws up.

Why on earth do people post of videos of themselves doing stupid shit like this? If I'm the guy filming, the first thing I'm doing is pulling the card out of the GoPro and stomping on it.
Oh, and why the fuck did the last guy dump his bike on the shoulder? He wasn't even close to the original crash. A really skilled group apparently.
Oh and the first guy crashed because his entry point was fucked and then he target fixated on the Armco.

Does sound like it. Probably heard scrapping panicked picked the bike up and rest is history.
Rider one panicked, when he thought he wasn't going to make it he:
--made a steering input or braked = standing the bike up.
--probably grabbed the bars as tight as he could, another input effecting control.
--target fixed on where he didn't want to go, and that's where he went, where his eyes were looking.
Attending Superbike School or some form of track training will break these survival reactions.
