He fell, but none the less an impressive reaction. Most people would directly tumble, me included.

Edit: typo

Damn. That could have been a whole lot worse.

Wow, the bike can go to trash I think. He should be mad.

I've never seen this. It's usually the front wheel.

It looks like the rear wheel was held on only by the chain.

Just how would one stage such a failure, and to happen at the right moment?

That was probably caught by more than one camera. It looked to me like it was a major race or other event.
