BT Weaver is right, stand going over changes in surfaces or over rough ground in general. I'd add, never, ever put a foot down for balance, ever.
It's tough to believe that standing would have changed the outcome of this situation.
To ride an adventure bike fast you 1st have to be able to ride an adventure bike slow.

I agree, at that speed on a slippery bridge, probably over before you do it!
just like a slick low water crossing, when it goes it happens fast. Standing, sitting, riding backwards. Slick crossings can get you. Even Tourmeister messes up once in a while. lol. Just not as often as the rest of us. Not sure there's a "great" tire for slime or wet wooden bridges. Being setup before hand and steady throttle is best to me. Sounded like this one caught him off guard.
I'm nowhere near as good a rider as most folks posting on this and I'm sure experience played a part, BUT just like a slick low water crossing, when it goes it happens fast.
