I have watched that several times now, and still can't work out what's going on.

Seems to me the stone flips on its side and goes under the pedal which then flips me
I did hear a metalic thud just before losing control

That would just about make sense, is that film real time or slow-mo? My last big pedal stroke seemed to have a similar result, just a lot faster.

I so hope that is "slow motion" or we have a contender for the lamest fall of 2014! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Pretty obvious it was the trails coming alive at 120fps / 650b

What was the camera mounted on?
It appears to swing forward and hit the front. Are you riding the worlds first folding fatbike?

Edit: on your ankle...

I reckon the rock flipped up and you were scared of smashing the camera on your ankle and so slipped a pedal and then fell off like a small child.
