I’ve watched this nightmare several times and my heart just pounds.

I do not see anyone inside the car that would be able to apply the brakes.

As a stopgap safety feature roll it out using a cable attached to the frame.
Once it is in place to lower, set brakes, release cable and lower.

OK, I turned my VPN off and was able to watch it and yes to everything you wrote about preventing this from happening. This is just plain and simple stupidity by the driver.
