I would disagree with the video. "Hitting" the gas pedal can mitigate some situations of sway and enable you to "straighten it out". In a blowout, no. Hit the brakes? No. Maintain speed; don't hit the brakes then slowly let off the go pedal. Slowly. When you have adjusted control over whatever the blown tire does to you (front is different than rear; TV is different than RV) gently apply brakes and take it to the side. In any tire failure, any unexpected situation - moderation is the key. You can't just jerk things hither and yon nor slam the brakes OR the go pedal. Moderation and awareness - which leaves the texters, talkers, gawkers, and those "others" in the "you gotta watch" category.
