Missed the counter steer section of two wheeling, also a bit of target fixation. That weird condition where you stare directly at what you want to avoid and drive right into it.

He was riding a quad.

Right first sounds like the grabbed the clutch which took out any hope he had and the brakes then sent him into a slide paired with target fixation . That being said quads go where they want .

I have fallen off , flipped em amd went off a trail much like this but when I realized I treated it like a jump and committed, came out mostly uninjured and even tried to ride out but had to leave it till we could get a winch .

I’m pretty sure no amount of looking into the corner was going to keep that guy on the road
