Normalize the section to the sphere bundle. Scaling it from zero to unit length gives a homotopy within the disk bundle from the zero section to this sphere-valued section. The image of the relative Thom class in absolute cohomology restricts to zero on the sphere bundle. Homotopy invariance therefore makes its zero-section pullback vanish.
