He'll be fine from he head injury POV; it's the fencing response. Unfortunately the helpers may be causing a spinal cord injury...
His posture suggests a decorticate extensor rigidity (common in mid to upper brainstem injury) but happened much to quickly to be due to brain injury. The Fencing Response looks similar, but usually only lasts a few seconds.
One of the helpers however is trying to keep his airway clear, but with him on his side and thus twisting the c. spine by about 60 degrees. From the way he hit the ground and rolled over, he may well have an unstable cervical spine injury and end up paraplegic due to the fuckwits 'helping'.

If only more people did immediate life saver courses they would teach you not to move people with a suspected neck injury, and certainly don't twist it round like that.
They teach this in schools now...

Progress!
It'll take a while before it starts to have an effect and you start to notice people not suffering horrific neck injuries after accidents though, i just hope the person who finds the next casualty paid attention in class, because we all remember every word of what we learnt in school.
It's a good thing it's being taught in schools though, very good.

If only they taught common sense
watch a fail vid and write an essay on how fucking stupid what you just saw was, and repeat each day.

If only they taught spinal immobilisation and jaw thrust technique in schools

I'll be honest here, I haven't even watched this.
Mainly because the preview pic, combined with the replies above, does not bode well.

But if your airway's blocked, there's not much benefit in leaving you in situ...
Because you'll be dead before you can worry about paralysis.
(Can't really tell from video, but sounds like partial obstruction. I'd say keeping it patent would be pretty important).
