I think I remember from the YouTube text that the dude is a girl. And was the most seriously injured. But I may be wrong.

Emphasis on the might have, but yes (possibly), though there were several other factors in place ranging from the decision to not use safe travel protocol, to the terrain trap and trees, that led to that result.
