it had an operator. look at the video right as it passes the pole and the truck turns. you can see him sitting in the seat behind the plexi glass....

EDIT : 18 seconds into the video you can see the operator.

Looks like the weight box was not even engaged. And yeah the sled operator should have been ALL over the brakes... That was not the pullers fault. He did a good job keeping the sled and him out of the end teh track and potentialy people.
