Were those the stock bars? Although I'm not sure it would matter if it hit hard enough to break the forks. Hope he is well, sorry his stuff got torn up so bad.

Rider is fine, walked away.
After he crashed, the bike straightened up and proceeded to smash directly into a not-so-distant-from-the-race-line tree.

Loudon?
And FWIW forks snapping off while not really common isn't unheard of.
