I can't say that I've ever seen anything like this. I've been to the 24 hours of Daytona and seen a team or two lose a wheel on the first lap. I've seen Austrailian touring cars lose a wheel here and there. I've not seen a car lose all four of them at once on an autocross course. It almost makes me wonder if it wasn't faked somehow, but after viewing it a few times, I'm guessing it's just a case of really bad luck and possibly short studs. Either way, it is a reminder to torque your lug nuts.

The wrong nuts might explain it. I just couldn't imagine that you'd have all of them back off at once (if they were just hand tight and just spun off), but if they were the wrong thread and "stripped" under load....that makes sense. It's still pretty unreal to see it.

The driver looked ok, any word on the car? I saw a wrinkled fender, but was there anything more signifigant damaged? Those cars are known to be fragile.
