Drivers who live in a wintery clime, seldom take the opportunity to take their primary auto out to an desolated road, empty parking lot, with icy or snow driving conditions; when you max out the capabilities of your auto, tires, self...and practice it; there’s a good chance you’d avoid the out of control actions from the video.
It’s not unlike owning a firearm, you have to practice with it, under different conditions to improve.
A Skip Barber defensive driving course helps too. :)

Right. The belts helped a lot.
The DNA on the belt provided positive ID of the driver.

Oh? Try 50 winters in Ohio.
Fact, everybody was traveling too fast on that road.
Fact, the truck driver did have time to take evasive action without necessarilly harming others, but he was oblivious to what was happening.
Fact, the other drivers managed to come to a stop on the side of the road after the accident.
Watch the video at a good source and pay attention to the other drivers and the road conditions; everybody was driving like it was May.

That is spot-on great advice!
On my first day of driver’s education we had two feet of snow, lots of slush on the roads. The previous day was a school snow day. I asked the driving instructor if it was a good idea to go out and his response was, “There’s not a better way to learn how to drive that to drive in the worst conditions!”

Ge, our Admin Moderators wouldn’t be so juvenile to delete a public safety message, especially one with proper warnings, would they? Amazing, huh? Some of the mods are pansies living in the land of skittles and unicorns.
