What he demonstrated first of all is that you simply can't ride a bike that prevents the steer from turning in one direction. A bike continously falls to one side or the other, which gets corrected by steering in that direction to put the contact area back under the center of mass. This happens not necessarily through the rider's (conscious) action, even a bike with no rider does it to some extent, but in all cases it requires the ability to turn the wheel assembly freely around the steering axis.
IMO that means the bike in the video demonstrates failure to keep basic balance even before it gets a chance to demonstrate failure to turn properly.
