Oldie, but a goodie. I think someone here mentioned that that is Rossi during his 250 racing days.

that is what it looks like when 2cycle engine rotary valve slips-coming out of a corner
hard!!-that guy saved it!!many were not that lucky!!!!(high sided!)
that vid-maybe old,but is always a good post!!!

also,i am not saying that was a rotary valve slipping,just that is what it looks like
-rear wheel is spinning,then power gets cut-off(valve slips!)rear wheel then aligns
itself to the front wheel-then the rider is thrown off(high side)

agreed. Not really a tank slapper, but nonetheless a good save. I wounldn't want to try that since that's like a one in a billion kind of save.
