I doubt any human could have caught that.....too fast. But Dynamic Stability Control may well have. Its designed to keep the car going straight and reacts in milliseconds when it detects a spin, applying individual brakes. Typically it's already reacted and corrected the problem before the driver has consciously registered a problem. Its exactly why I'm not in favour of switching it off.....people claim good drivers don't need it but as Top Gear showed, human reaction times are way to slow to catch a sudden loss of traction/grip on one wheel
