Apparently he had a brake issue and while trying to sort it he got his hand trapped between fork and spokes. Painful and very effective for stopping a bike....

If only there were a video of someone doing it that showed why it's not a brilliant idea....

Now there's proof if ever there was that you cannot skid a front wheel. Instead of skidding, the rider endo's.
He bwoke his naze, yoo knoo.....

I've done it often. Stopping to deal with bike problems is annoying if it can be bodged on the move. That said, I wouldn't do it when wearing fingerless mitts but would with full gloves, I'd keep well away from the spokes and even then it's a good idea to be very wary because the smallest bump will mean your glove is scuffing the tyre.
It's harder to fiddle with the brakes on a road bike than most bikes because the brakes are smaller and so are the adjusters, but a small-wheel folder or front-loading cargo bike would be worse! In a neutralised zone, I'd stop. Too much pain risk for too little gain.

On a clean, dry road, that is. I know to my cost that that may not apply on wet/greasy/muddy/dusty/icy/slurry-covered roads! Oh, and leaf mulch does not offer much grip either ...

I know it makes me a bad person, but the more I watch it, the funnier it gets.
