So, you had enough throttle applied when you released the brake that the clutches engaged and made the machine do this?
Did you not think the machine reving that high wasnt normal?

Thats my thought it had to be reving pretty high to toss a rider and travel that distance.. I think it would be more possible that a stick or something was stuck someware causing the throttle to jamb in the last position.
