I had a similar experience once, however, it was downhill and the impact was shoulder, hip and helmet side. Your video feels almost the same. In my case the bike landed on top of me when all stopped moving.

Thanks Bigsky. I was lucky. I thought I broke a leg, but was walking after 30 minutes. I was limping for many days. The hip was seriously bruised from a crushed FRS radio that was there. The LiON battery began smoking. I believe the luck was the shoulder not breaking. Tensed muscle and padding likely made the difference. I recall saying, "Wha the f-bomb" [ ... in slow motion ... ] while going down. The boots definitely saved my ankles as they were tied up in the underframe and exhaust system. Yes, pushing the bike off the legs uphill I recall being a chore - and I also remember the engine not killed. The good news was three weeks later I was riding down to NH for some glorious country cruising, albeit with a smashed windshield.
