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.)

"For no apparent reason" You too are a fool then. It must of been a magical ghost that goes around shoving cars around ..
You contradict yourself with your "Don't believe me reasoning" you provide the answer as to why but say there was no apparent reason.
I too drove a truck for many years. You saying "in a pickup truck with way less power then a sky" just tells me you know nothing about traction. You as the driver are responsible for knowing your tire characteristics, your vehicles, the characteristics of the road type and the road layout itself. On the note of your "Truck". Well first off Trucks with no load have some of the worse traction, there is no weight at all back over the axle. Therefor no down force on the tires, add a little water between the rubber and the road. Traction is obviously going to be seriously impacted.
There is always a reason, unless ofcourse you believe in car pushing ghost.
Just because you(not you in particular) "Drive" a car doesn't mean they understand or process anything mentally about whats actually happening and where the limits are. Maybe you(yes you in particular this time) should go play out in the rain in a parking lot or empty roads with lots of run off or sign up for a track day where you can begin to learn the limits of your car in a safe environment. There is no such thing as for no reason.
