You're sitting in your chair. Now lean to a side. Then crank your neck so that the horizon is level. What did that do to your shoulders and arms? My opposite arm comes up a little and shoulders twist a bit.
If you're going to crank the neck while you're leaned over that may add input to bars. Sure, we all ride light on bars but it happens and you may not be thinking about it.
Last time I crashed I was trying to "hook" the turn like in ToTW. I was running wide and brought head forward. It probably would have been fine but except instead of tightening the turn the video shows bike leaning even more for about a second before going down. Why? My guess is that moving head forward moved the shoulders and extended the right arm even more, pulling on it gently (it was a left turn)
