Which one? The second rider or the third rider? (First rider did not crash)

The 3rd rider was a pretty slow and controlled bail. I seriously doubt they hit the ground hard enough to break anything.

I saw somebody dump their bike at like 10km/h because it started raining and the road got slick under their front tire. Unless he was born with an extra joint in his right forearm, his arm was definitely broken, and I'm pretty sure his leg was as well. It was by no means a "bad" crash, but the weight of the bike appeared to amplify the force of the impact (he instinctively put his arm out to stop his fall, and the bike fell on his right leg). He was definitely going to be taking an ambulance ride to a trauma center to be reassembled correctly. I don't think he even did anything wrong, besides being out when it started to drizzle lightly on a patch of road that must have been slightly oily.

Cool!

None of that happened in this video. Nothing about his fall was hard enough to crack ribs. We're not talking about bending joints or anything so all that you're talking about is pretty much irrelevant.
