In defense of the driver of that sky:
i've done similar things when the roads are wet in a pickup truck with way less power than a sky, and I'm a fairly competent driver. Cars can and will spin out for no apparent reason if the conditions are right. Don't believe me? Just look at NASCAR. On several occasions I've seen drivers get loose and hit the wall, on a straightaway, and sometimes without other cars close enough to cause aero problems.

I'd like to know more of the specifics of the situation before I pronounced judgement on the driver. What were the road conditions like? What tires did he have? what was the angle of the turn? (there's one left like that down here were you can break the rear tires loose easily on a dry road.)
