A dedicated set of studded tires ($$$$) would be nice for the ice.
Or chains with cleats (less $$$ and opening a canoworms for some naysayers.)
Both items that are rarely 'needed' but great when you do. Can't say for sure if either would have prevented this.
Great video and always fun when it's done.
Chains would have prevented it in 2 ways: much better traction on ice and you wouldn't be doing 40 in chains
Also even if he did end up hanging over like that he probably would've be able to back out onto the road.
@macleanflood I'd be interested in seeing the beads let go. How hard was it to reseat them in the snow?
