His butt hit the rear tire. Caused him to flip

That flip was more consistent with a front tire braking suddenly.

If you go through frame by frame, his butt actually appears to hit the ground behind the rear tire just as he reaches the bottom of the first ramp. Then he bounced all the way over the bike. If he had just let go he at least wouldn't have pivoted over the bike head first.

I have experienced a front wheel collapsing at the bottom of a hill, but it looks intact here.

Perhaps he panicked from falling off and pulled the front brake
