I do not think that in this case target fixation was the cause ...
The guy mildly panicked an hit the brakes , then in the dirt held the fronts on a bit , the bike stood up and he totally forgot about counter steering to force her back down !!and yer , if you have not had a slow splat like that happen to you? , you prolly do not realize what damage can be done at low speeds like that!! ....they hurt the wallet sometimes as much as faster crashes with no effort ..

Peg hit, "Oh Siht!", stand bike up, "Now what do I do?", look at that nice soft dirt next to that really hard asphault, "Oh Siht, Bank!", Spike front brakes causing tire washout. Live and you learn, hopefully he watches this video and learns from his mistakes, or one of his friends can give him some sound advice for what to do next time.

If he had aftermarket rearsets(up 1", back 1") he wouldn't scrapped in the 1st place. I have them on my F23 and never heard the peg scrape. Though my boot is missing off a piece from toe protector off my racing boot.
I also agree with "all the above".
