How in the world would he manage a high side when he wasn't even to the apex of the corner yet? Assuming I'm interpreting the photo correctly. I would have thought he was still breaking or maybe throttle neutral at that point.

In any event....the judge in Kansas gives him a 7.4 for his dismount. Though his faceplant was nearly perfect, I marked him down for not holding a complete pike position all the way through the landing.
Tubby grabbed a handful of front brake mid corner. Panic braked.
