This really isn't about red light jumping. This is about paying attention and doing whatever is safest in any circumstance.
This is something you learn, you learn which way what traffic is coming from/going to in every intersection, you learn how much time you need to cross a certain distance, you learn what clothing you can wear while cycling and still be safe.
This guy, assuming that he is ok, has hopefully learned allot. All of you, please, keep your eyes open, anticipate what is going to happen next, watch the cars and the cyclists around you, make safe decisions. Don't just assume that because the light is a certain colour you will be safe, or that because your riding a good bike with good brakes, or because you are wearing a helmet. Paying attention will keep all of us safer, make all of us better riders.
