i betcha if he would have at least, i dunno, tried to turn the wheels, maybe it could have been avoided.....I'm not saying I'm the best at aiming my car when sliding backwards, but at least i tired....
that thing lost traction fast over nothing....fail.

Heres something I always wondered, its probably a stupid idea though. You know how airports have those nets that can catch airplanes at the end of a runway. How come instead of tires and "haaaaaaaaaaaay" they just cant string up a net to catch cars or a series of nets to slow a car down?

How exactly would that have helped?
He had too fast of an entry speed, and lifted the throttle. Physics always wins.
ASC/TSC/blah/blah. No ******* chance.
If he didn't lift he would have went off the track forwards and still hit the wall. He was fucked, period.
Trying too hard to catch the viper.

I think you'd be surprised at what you can get the car to do in the grass (when it's not wet). I managed to steer a car back on track at 110mph with only one tire. That was enough to get the speed down to around 30mph before I hit the tire wall on the other side. 
I think the point here is that he did do anything... no try = fail4sure.
