Unless the brakes didn't work on initial application, which would explain the accident, the skid marks exiting the turn show that there had to have been some brakes working by that point.

Looking at the skid marks (not very dark) and the behavior of the car, I would guess he lost on circuit of his brakes. I would suspect he lost the fronts or one diagonal, depending on his brake set up. (Spoken from experience with this particular situation.)

It almost seems as though it throttle was hung up a bit as well. Lucky guy and glad to see him be able to video the scene afterward!!
