He made a huge mistake. You go toward and away. Which means he should have jumped the rail and ran away from the camera. He wouldn't have been touched.
Fast moving objects will easily outrun you. You can't outrun them by running away to keep ahead of it.
I think for a split second he realized it and prepared to die.
What's even funnier is, if you mark exactly where he was standing at the beginning and then review in slo-mo, he could have probably stood dead still in that spot and never been touched.
