According to some articles, e.g. the Telegraph article, he braked, swerved and shouted.
You'd hope that they demonstrated a safe braking distance was possible but not taken by the rider, in order to find him partly responsible, but it's a civil ruling and they don't go into all that or something. I don't know what I'm talking about.

If you have time to shout, hit an air horn and steer a different course, you have time to hit your brakes. Any decrease in speed is likely to mean a much reduced amount of damage on impact.
