The title of the video sure makes it sound great, but that wasn't 200mph.

Yeah thats because if he held on he would most likely break his arms, he's experienced with crashing I guess.

i think it's also a tribute to hay!

looks like he clipped the wall at the corner which caused him to lose control.

If you look at the video, he clips the wall and his front end lifts until he hits the hay bales. I think he just lost grip or was thrown back by the impact from the first wall, if I learned one thing from my family of racers you try to save a crash by all means, not let go and cause one.

Really gifted and very lucky rider!
