That doesn’t have nearly the control you’d need. When you over do it you better hope that brake kicks in just enough to catch you falling backwards, otherwise it’s the same problem.
Keeping a full human body balanced above a 9cm2 patch of rubber (contact area of the tire, being generous) while travelling at 80mph is no easy feat.
Plus you get into stopping distance issues. There’s no such thing as emergency braking in a scenario like this… Hopefully he sees whatever obstacles he’s approaching and none of them move into his path…
Seems like at that speed he’d only have to sit up and the wind resistance would push him back enough.
