Why in the world did he use his emergancy brake to attempt to stop his car. When you lock up the brakes, the wheels can still turn, but they are locked up, so they have no traction. Because of that, you cant steer. Thats why on a track if you spin out and loose control, you lock up your brakes. It keeps your car moving in the same direction.
