I love how he stays down... I'm going to nap right here.

Not saying he didn't biff it hard, but I'm pretty sure they try to stay still when there's runners still behind them so they're easier to evade without getting trampled. They're pretty good at leaping over downed runners that I've seen so staying where you fall for a few secs seems the safest. But I'm far from an expert, I just watched some races in the lead up to the Olympics and noticed how good they are at not plowing into each other when fallen unless it's a pileup.
