Curious to know what may be the reason for this.

he just slammed the brakes too hard...!!

Yes, agree. brakes were applied too hard at a relatively higher speed due to which this happened. In other words, the axial momentum translated into rotary motion as application of brakes created an axis like situation.

This is what i think would have happened.

Thanks

Cant they have some kind of mechanism which co relates speed on ground and brakes, so both these functions works in tandem .... :headscratch: like if ground speed is more than Xmkph braking force will be Y (whatever unit)...

they do have, even in very cheap aeroplanes like the cessna has this it is called Maxaret Unit, a mechanical unit, modern ones are computer controlled but still retained the name, here read on

A Great pilot will practice until he can't get it wrong.

Got it Gusty Sir  ...Non-Skid Braking  ...found this useful pdf file with diagram of the Maxaret mechanism  http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1953/1953%20-%201433.html

Can anyone identify the plane is the video...and whether that model has Non-Skid Braking (Maxaret) or not?
