If he didn't hit the brakes he could possibly of saved it, but he freaks seeing he is quickly running out of real estate with the roundabout coming up and hits the brakes to try and slow down and induces a skid. All in all it could of been worse if there was oncoming traffic entering that roundabout. That is at least my observation with the information and video provided. Only he knows what he was thinking of course.

I still want to know why the lead car leap frogs the truck when there is a number of vehicles following him on a 60 mile cruise. Surely the road opens up to at least four lanes early on in this cruise and is not all two lane back roads in which case good luck keeping a group together when leap frogging traffic the whole way.
I think you should definitely blame him. It's one thing for the first car (which was not leading the cruise) to pass the truck, but completely different for the 2nd guy to try and pass both of them while this happens and try to go around the roundabout in the opposite direction.

The road didn't really open up much ahead, it was mostly 1 lane roads on the route.
