I might not have the keen eyesight and lightning reactions of you
race-honed experts, but I'd like to think I could see a 7m hole across
the entire width of the road in time to stop.

Indeed. Also, it's basic physics that shows that any attempt to jump on
the flat was doomed to failure anyway without some sort of enabling
'lift' (like a ramp or Go-Go-Gadget-Springs?) - but the real mystery is
why he ran away?

Jumping on the flat- that's easily explained by Hollywood physics,
just the will to rise into the air is usually enough. Or pull up
on the bars a bit.

As to why he ran, simple embarrassment at being such an inattentive
idjit I'd imagine.

Leaving a machine he'd spent a fair amount of money on? I kinda doubt
that. I think he considered the financial/legal implications of
remaining and made a wise decision.

It is possible: bunny hop. It's what trials and mountain bikers do.
Though probably not in this case.
