They tease the jump a few times.... but the second he touched the ramp he was a go. My bet is he saw something he didn't like, or one of the guys were out of place and he was already up the ramp. Thought it better to stop on top than completly wreck.

One of the fans jammed the rear brake or something if that nature is my guess

This is probably right on the money.

If you get that hurt falling from the base of the landing ramp, imagine how much it hurts to crash coming down from 30 feet above it...

That was my initial thought when I saw the clip last night too. But apparently the injured fans were actually members of the Nitro circus crew who were deliberately planted in the crowd and picked out for the stunt. If so you would assume they would be conscious of thaty sort of thing.
