Even with failed brakes you can lift the throttle and reduce some speed, down shift the transmission, run into vehicles on the side, lots of ways to scrub off speed. Heck at the worst you'd run into the ramp and stop there..
That sucker looked to be WOT and gaining speed downhill and for an RV to carry that distance and go high enough to get out of the frame of the camera it was hauling ass....
So either the throttle was stuck WOT or he had the throttle to the floor...
You'd be surprised what percentage of people panic in a no brakes situation and freeze and do none of the above. Also a lot of RV's are driven by people renting them and not experienced with driving them and already panicky and scared when nothing is going wrong.

KenSDrivers famous last words:
"You've been nagging me for 500 miles that we have to make the last ferry of the day, but we still had to stop at 27 quilting stores! Well, we're gonna make that damn ferry if it's the last thing I do on this earth"
