A few things can be learned from that video.

#1 - obviously, don't run red lights. Seeing the first vehicle pull away from the light should have given him a heads-up.
#2 - learn how to use your brakes. He locked the rear and it started to step out. Full braking with the front may have reduced the impact speed significantly. Towards the end the car had almost stopped and possibly given you room to go around it to the right.
#3 - Gear. In this situation, a good armored boot could have prevented a nasty mangled ankle. Everything else would have paid for itself also.
#4 - Don't ride as a passenger with rookie riders that are riding in a group of stunters.
