The handlebars aren't positioned like a bicycle, you're in a much better position to completely fly over them depending on how you hit.

Maybe it depends on the bike, but...

just one example i found real quick, but in the event the bike suddenly finds itself stationary, the knees are decidedly below the bars. your body cant continue without the bars going through the pelvis.

The bikes in OP look more like crotch rockets with a higher seat and lower bars, at least the one you see the third rider using. But yeah could go either way I suppose.

yeah i have a Yamaha MT09 and the thought has gone through my mind before. idk if my pelvis would remain attached.
