Learned that early on from a seasoned vet, never go down unless you're sure you can get back up. I've done search and rescue for club members and they had bulldogged one bike out, rode double and next day we recovered the second bike. They knew where they were though and these are VERY seasoned expert desert racers (one a multitime number one in various desert racing divisions) so it can happen to the best.
Really glad no one was injured or hurt badly. These things can happen -even to super experienced enthusiasts -as pointed out by nayther.
It is quite clear that some of the replies in this thread have little or no clue about off-road motorcycling and its physical/mental challenges. Get a grip not every is perfect -we are all humans after all. Just because urban lights are visible -it don't mean you can get there easily.
Late starts, poor judgements, map reading mistakes, novice or unskilled rider in technical terrain, and or unknown natural hazards can lead to what my riding group calls "an adventure". It really depends on how prepared the group is for the unexpected.
