Probably because when the wheel starts spinning again the beads redistribute themselves. If they all fall to the bottom when you stop then they will all thin out on the inside around the tire when it rolls.
Probably got a hurt EGO and looking for someone to blame and maybe money because the beads caused the accident...yeah right.

Think about it this way the beads balance the wheel in a radial direction while your steering stem is what controls the steering. The beads flow to the front when in a brake but will quickly regain its position on the throttle again. If anything the OPs friend should look at the steering stem bearing and/or steering damper if one is equiped. More than likely I believe it was just rider error.
plus I believe the beads weigh almost nothing.

I called BS on it as well. Been riding my **** off with them, going into corners hot, braking, then rolling out of them as fast as my tire will still stay hooked up.

No way that a couple of ounces shifting would cause that.
Plus the beads wouldn't all slam to one place at once, the tire is round and the beads distribute around the tire. Even in a sudden stop the wheel doesn't stop spinning instantly.

Sounds like a guy fishing for someone to tell him he has a lawsuit before he calls an attorney. Bullcrap on Dyna beads causing a wobble. If it does, I could drown someone with a loogey!

I don't think he's alluding to a lawsuit, at least my friend never mentioned he was. I'm more inclined to believe he's just trying to shift fault from rider to beads. Here's what I think may have happened. Perhaps he overcorrected in the curve to avoid said deer, and maybe got the tire way out of wack in relation to the road surface, and once it got another bite on the road, it twisted his bars way over in the other direction. That's happened to me once, and fortunatly I didn't go down.
