That bike has A LOT of weight up high with that red duffel above the tail storage. Even a few pounds that high can make a big difference. And, he was certainly going too fast for the corner, being distracted by the photographer.

The combination of speed and the high weight took the bike over further than he expected. He dragged the header circa frame 10 and just gave up on the curve.

You can't see it but, about frame 16, when he let off the brakes, he shat himsef.
