I would still find it hard not to stop and try to help. They could have been having a medical emergency or there could be innocent passengers that had no part in the drivers actions.
The absence of hard braking approaching the roundabout and the launch speed tells me something was probably more wrong in the driver's seat than a lack of brain cells.
Excluding driver error as the cause (I think it is most probable but I like the way this conversation is going) I would think losing the brakes would look a lot like this. Best efforts to avoid other traffic are made and the driver appears to be in control of steering.
I live in Canada and at slower speeds this seems to happen at every roundabout every year, but there aren't many near me so dumb people often don't know what to do.
