Yes gravity always wins in the end
Here's a few moments from the 2019 season, one or two involving Ryan and just look at the near miss's.

Have a look at this from clip about 30 seconds in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX8vWLppnRY
look how far Ryan rolls (top of picture) after hitting the oil when the rider in front suffered a blown engine. 130 mph crash and so lucky to walk away with just a few cuts and a dislocated finger, I saw the leathers afterwards and there was some serious damage.
