Target fixation.....

Well I can't be sure that is what happened here but it sure looks like it. In any case this is why you really need to look where you want to go, not at the road hazard or car coming the other way.

I think you're correct on that one...looked like he was surprised by the car and stood his bike up.

That is a very profound case of target fixation. Judging from the trajectory of the rider, shown in the second video, he may have survived.

almost looks like he locked up the rear brake and then stood it up.

probably a bad idea to run a one lane road as fast as that too.
