There is that target fixation phenomena that, when running out of road causes you to want to stand it up thinking your going to lose traction. He should have just looked away and hauled the bike back over. He wasn't turning much as he approached the edge of his lane

It's better to low side than run off the road at speed. I low sided at 70 mph at the apex of turn during a race and my butt didn't even slide as far as the outside it the turn

Having said that, he would not have low sided. He would have made it.
Never having been near that point he had no trust in his machine and tires. It should have been a non event like the camera guy

I hate to see novices without the proper training. This would make a great training video
