It has more to do with the part of the road that driver was on, 2nd car locked was more sucessful (stopping in a shorter distance, although spinning) then the 3rd truck unlocked (drove through the intersection and almost couldn't stop before plowing into a building). Both didn't have much control in this situation. Threshold braking is the best way to avoid catastrophe. On this hill either method would be effective, or ineffective.

EDIT: Note the Subaru at 2:05, Not locked and out of control... In this situation, either locked or unlocked there is no control. It seems less so with more speed...
