I dont doubt that he stacked but the details seem a tad exaggerated, if he did what he said at the speed he said i think his injuries would be much worse.

Dumbest thing??? Sooo many.
One that comes to mind at the moment...
Installed new forks to old bike and changed stem, went for test ride all feeling good, decided to do new (for me) jump off 4 foot rock. Third go bars spun as I landed, flipped over bars landed face first...bike still moving...think to self not bad, pain OK...looked up...bike still moving...last thing I saw was the pedal as it hit me in the forehead...looked up at mate I was riding with and asked if I was bleeding?
Take your pick on the dumbest part of that story...

chain issues.
over tightening the chain on my 4x bike, and then cranking it out of the gate, and as i hit off the first jump my chain sapped, Over the bars, into the kicker of a big step up.

When dirt crit racing at westgate after work, started to get the bike out the back of the car. Put the rear wheel on, phone rang and then got changed from work clothes into riding gear, helmet on, gloves, camelbak, closed the boot and locked the car.
THEN i noticed no front wheel. It was still at home in the driveway where I left it when loading the car at 8am
Looked around to see if anyone noiced and quickly disappeared home

Yeah thats like when I raced for Peaty at Stromlo coz he ate a bad kebab on the Saturday night. I should really try and get my rainbow jersey off him
My stupidiest moment was fitting a pedal with a ring spanner, didn't realise til I had it all tight that I couldn't get the spanner off.
Moral of the story, never fit new parts drunk!
1. Rushing to swap tyres between my two bikes. One on workstand, one upside down on the ground. Yup, all four friggin' tyres in the wrong direction.
2. Not looking up, then realising there's a sharp left turn at the bottom of a slippery concreted slope. Going fast, tipping your bike into a turn and hitting the brakes hard on a slippery concrete slope is not a good combination. It's amazing the amount of undergrowth you can clear with your left shoulder. Being clipped in helps I guess.
