I have had practice too. The bike was stopped and went down very slowly. I had leather bags and didn’t damage anything except my back lifting the thing up.
If your 700 lb or 800 lb Rocket starts to fall, unless you power lift or had spinach that day, you ain't going to keep the bike from falling by putting a leg down.
If you can put your foot down and bring the bike up then it would have been much easier just to keep the rpm's up and feather the clutch and have that bring you up. In fact, the clutch throttle can bring you up when your leg can't. Keep your head and eyes up and look to where you are going. If you look down like the guy in the video then you will go down or feel the impulse to put your foot down.
