First: Thank God he's alright.
Second: What I think happened was - he didn't see the trucks stopped due to traffic, and then didn't have enough time to stop. When he realized he didn't have enough room to stop, he decided to go through them - and didn't have the skill/space required to do so. I'm sure he was trying to make a cool little video, and wasn't riding to the best of his "awareness" abilities.
It sucks to see someone go down period - no matter how dumb they're riding. Sure, a guy like that deserves the back of his head slapped. But remember, he's a fellow rider at the same time. We (I know I have at least) have all done some things on sportbikes that we probably aren't proud of (riding like a jackass at one point or another). Use this as a prime example of remembering to be aware of what's going on down the road. Traffic could be stopped right around the curve (or in this case, just in front of you).

Yeah, gotta say he probably earned everything he got there.
Having said that, I don't believe I can see brake lights on, on either truck.
Just a wee tip, if for any reason you find yourself at a complete stop on the open road, keep your foot on the brake to get those brake lights glowing.
