Coming from someone that almost had a head-on at 50ish the other day on a bike with mediocre brakes, i can safely say he could of easily stopped in about 1/2 of that distance (2/3 at worst)if he had just used the brakes in the way they were meant to be used. Watching it again, he has even more time than i remebered. And the fact he is swearing and not concentrating on braking?! When i almost hit the car, my thought were purely on stopping the bike...i dont see at all how saying something out loud could be a subconscious reaction, and therefore if its a consious reaction he had time to think about that...but not brake? Proper ****.
