My bet is he didn’t have enough tongue weight. That vehicle was more can capable of towing that camper if it was loaded properly.
But speeding past people is always a bad idea anyway, people will crank the wheel and do all kinds of crazy stuff when they get scared or surprised. Its both scary and funny to see, most people have atrocious reaction times.

I and several others were watching this live while chatting in the associated chat room – it was a definite shitty pants moment, even for us watching at home. At first we weren’t sure if it was gumball related or not – no one saw anyone speed right past him but then again he could have been destabilised earlier on. Fortunately now it turns out that it was just a coincidence.
Unlucky for that guy though! Holiday ruined and all on live TV :(
