he was going too fast probably turned his wheels too fast and used the brake too hard and started loosing it and then he really lost it

Not even close.
Try: Lack of driver skills.
To answer the other question, on a FD vehicle, when the outside tires are loaded with lateral G forces and the throttle is lifted the rear end of the car tends to slide out. This is what is called lift throttle over steer. It’s a good method to rotate a car around a turn, but if you don’t know what o are doing as this guy didn’t, its becomes very dangerous.
This is why on most FWD cars, including the non SI civics, they really dial back the roll back thickness in the rear. That way, if someone does experience over steer in mid corner, and hits the brakes like an idiot they most likely won’t spin into the guard rail.
Of course when tards ad all sorts of suspension mods to get rid of these factory "safety" designs, and don’t know how to properly drive w/o them, crap like this happens.

Rep Power: 0 The same weight transfer occurs on a RWD, however it has a different effect : understeer because the front wheels aren't pulling the front end around itself anymore when the weight shift occurs, right?
AWD should then be pretty tricky to drive : you have to keep the car between oversteering and understeering :S
