Pretty sure he experienced a mechanical issue with the controls. A loose or slipping cable would cause this. Sometimes working and sometimes not. If he's new with this setup, this is what happens. Go slow and learn the vehicle you're operating.
Kate, you just haven't experienced a mechanical failure and by watching the video you should be thankful. I don't think the guy was a idiot, I don't think he realized what was happening until it was too late.
