It looked to me like this was a "prepared" area specifically set aside for this purpose. They had the Jersey barriers set to a lane width, fanned out and there was noone standing downstream. Not that an errant car couldn't have ended up in someone's living room though.

Yes that is correct. Police instructions are to keep it under control. Mild tire spin at low speeds. They watch the cars. If someone is hammering it too hard they tell them to back down. If someone is letting it get sideways or looks like they do not know what they are doing the talk with them. If they don't listen they tell them to park it. Even if he had saved it he would have been intervened with.
