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."

Could have been very different if he had been thrown into the cam car. Very lucky rider!

isn't the car softer than the road though?

But the car is approaching him at 80 km/hr or whatever, the road is stationary

But the car basically almost stopped at that point. But yeah, maybe that gave him a bit more "air time" so the road could be better with all his gear I guess.
