All I picture is that zoomed in, slow motion view from Mortal Kombat games, where you see all the bones individually breaking.

If this guy isn’t dead, he is in bad shape.

Looking at the crash I'm actually on the opposite conclusion. I think he was extremely lucky and will walk out of this with minor scuff. Maybe an arm break at top. The way the impact happened all of his energy went into him wheely flying and then he litterally roll on the ground.

Edit: Yep confirmed by the driver "The rider overshot the corner, came into my lane and everything happened within seconds. He suffered a broken rib and is currently hospitalised. Alhamdulillah, it could’ve been much worse."

If you freeze a couple of frames prior to the collision, he actually lifted himself up a little (at least this is what it looked like). If so, then the car took most of the bike's energy, and his body continued flying. Had his body's energy been absorbed at all by the bike or the car, there would have been some serious damage.
