Just looked at the first three (sans volume) and can say....
#1: Doing stupid ****
#2: Riding too fast for the curve and his abilities: Looked like they leaned too far over and caught the footpeg and panic-corrected.
#3: Was not looking far enough ahead in traffic. Should have seen that traffic was stopping, and anticipated somebody pulling out in front of him to avoid. NOTE: The car definitely saw him, as you can see that they swerved back towards their own lane, but then decided to pull out in front of them anyways as they were not going to be able to brake in time. Biker was lucky they didn't go over the side of the bridge there, but then again, they overcorrected too far to the right. They would've been fine in the shoulder.
All three of these mistakes are easily correctable. Just do it.

In my book, the Isle of Man TT races take the cake for worst crashes ever.**

One of the comments mentioned a lack of fear, see inside for their quote.

It's only a matter of time before he bounces off a light pole or guardrail.

I have come to despise motorcycles. At least, the "crotch rocket" types.

On the plus side, I'd vastly prefer people who are that reckless and stupid
