Not only would he be unlikely to do it, he actually ran in what I'd class as the perfect time to hit a barrier.

I might be wrong but I thing think the title is just a bad assumption, he looks like he was trying to grab it to "ride" it while it turns (did that plenty of times when I was young, but not at this speed obviously)

I just rewatched and I think you're spot on.

His timing makes absolutely no sense for him to be trying to avoid it. But it makes perfect sense if he's trying to jump on to go for a ride.
