Yes Sean, crashes are a learning experience. No way to learn without realizing what went wrong. But that doesn't mean you can't be realistic about it, without being that dude behin a keyboard who says something to the effect of, "oh it's simple, you're an idiot. Just sayin." It looks like he panicked and grabbed a lot of brake and lost it. That's an SR. Congrats to David, he's now experienced in what that SR feels like, and it won't be a surprise next time.
Akima, yes. Badass level 1 attained. Moar soft padded ditch crashes and you'll keep leveling up!
