All this says to me is that the rider had extremely limited skills, and likely stood on the rear brake when something spooked him up ahead. If he had 125 feet to be sliding along before he hit something, he had more than enough time to brake properly, and/or swerve to a much less explosive outcome. Practice your emergency braking, folks.

What techniques do you recommend practicing? Breaking and downshifting at the same time? Just yanking in the clutch and holding it in while you break?
