Damn that suks, but good to hear he is ok even if he is gonna be hurting for a little.
How big was that rut? It had to be a pretty bad one (over 4ft deep right?) to cause this unless there was a mechanical problem of some kind.
I would deff try to push it through warranty or as some kind of defect as it cant hurt to try it, but dont be suprized if you get a hard time as most dealer people are not up enough to really figure what happened, and also cant figure that its in their favor to push it through.
Good luck either way, and tell your bro he was lucky even though he may not believe this too much when he breathes or moves.

A friend of mine let his inlaws borrow his 04 rancher 400 and his 16 year old cousin inlaw took off on it with a friend on back, being a brand new rider she got overconfident and hit a tree at an estimated 50 mph. Girls were very lucky and came out witrh a few scrapes and bruises, rancher on the other hand had 3500 dollars worth of damage, front rack, plastic , a-arm bolt like you decribed wich bent the frame. I would take it to Honda and have them estimate it for you, and in the future you may want to look into full coverage insurance I've heard it can be had for the same amount as a street bike, I plan on putting it on my new Rubicon. Anyway hope you get it fixed for as little as possible.

Just look at these words as things to avoid: BORROW, Friend on back, New Rider.
I dont know about anyone else, but I wont even consider letting just anyone take a drive on my ride. Its not being selfish, but trying to avoid a problem just like were seeing here.
Even those who are experienced enough that they should have half a clue get quick course on how not to be "stupid" and there is a discussion on how to pay for any damages.
Not all accidents can be avoided, but many of them didnt need to happen either.
