And he is more worried about the bike than his personal health. The adrenalin lasted what 20 to 30 seconds?

I think that was because the kid who owned the bike (holding Ducati helmet who'd been jostled off it so his 'friend' could show him how to wheelie it) was looking slightly pissed off at what he did to his brand new bike.
Notice when he saw the forks were bent he decided a long stay in hospital might be preferable to sticking around to write the cheque (check) for the repairs.
In fact every time I watch that video, I feel bad for all parties concerned.
Then I laugh a little more and the feeling passes!

He meant to do that.
I did wonder that myself whether he just wanted to wreck the poor kid's bike, but got a set of bruised goolies into the bargain!
I've just watched the impact a few times again, and I must say that porky guy missed his vocation as a stunt man. He dismounts the bike cleanly, does a sort of barrel roll to dissipate the impact and leaps to his feet. It was like ballet.
I think his clutching his stomach/nuts was a bit of acting to get some sympathy. Seemed to work too!
