The 2 second rule has a very funny way of proving the solid reasons behind it, and this Yamaha R6 rider found them out the hard way, with a silly, laughable wipeout.
We can tell almost for sure that the R6 rider wasn't even paying enough attention to his fellow in front of him. Instead, he gripped the front brake, locked the wheel and irremediably lost control of the bike.
Even at such a short distance, better braking skills with a firm grip and a little rear brake could have saved the day. In fact, being able to brake firmly yet without being brutal is one of the key elements of emergency braking.
