Just like to chime in and add the fact that according to the interview with Shioda Sensei conducted by Stan Pranin:

For the 10 days prior O'Sensei was suffering from jaundice, and in fact had been vomiting constantly and had hardly eaten at all. Yukawa compensated knowing how ill O'sensei was and attacked weakly, he was slammed into the mat and his arm was injured, this was 15 seconds into the performance,
I think it comes under the category of mistakes. One mistake was by the uke also. So we have two mistakes at the same time.

On the other hand, taking into account the man himself, it was probably a lesson.
