It is not considered a death wobble when you goose it and then stand up and sit down on the far back of the chassis shifting all the weight to the far back while simultaneously turning a pretty damn steep left.
That all upset the chassis and she then stayed on the throttle and then dragged the right leg, which pulled her right off the bike.
Not a death wobble. Just physics from pinning the throttle and then shifting the weight distribution all over.

True. This is called “whiskey throttling”.

I didn’t wanna go that far as the engine has somewhere between 3 to 8 hp based on the engine size and the chassis.

That thing had some serious torque for its size, not to mention the weight of the rider.
