In that sentence, tear_bender is right. The biker fell on his back. "Ended up" can be followed by a noun or description instead of an action.

"I wanted coffee, but I ended up with tea instead."

Here is the whole sentence.

"This crazy driver came out of nowhere and hit the back of my bike. I ended up on my back. Luckily he wasn't going too fast."

I thought "end up" should be followed by only "doing something".
