Harrowing but it’s irresistible instinct.

I’ve been on a bike at simular speeds a few times.
Never once felt any inclination to unload?
Ever.

Considering the amount of time he had to make a decision, really amazing. I might have tried to low side the bike entering the corner far too fast, not just bailed out.

Been watching MotoGP for decades, never saw anything like this.

Have you had to decide between ditching and slamming into a wall?

The souls who jumped from the World Trade Centers never before felt the inclination to leap from a building. Ever.

On a bike headed for a wall or in a skyscraper being chased by flames your autonomic nervous system takes control.
