i dont think honda makes a model called the Bubble.
Ebrakes have nothing what so ever to do with the steering wheel.
Sorry to say but that was 100% driver error/wreckless driving.

and a Honda hatchback is wat i meant, most ppl around my area refer to it as that
are there any instances where your wheel does lock?? not pertaining to the E brake
My friend did the exact opposite in HS, he was driving his dad's German Iported 528i... i forget the model number, but I think that it was a 28i.
He went around a turn just a tad bit too fast with the traction control off in the rain with leaves everywhere. When the back came out on him he slammed the brakes, putting him into more of a spin, back wheels went into a ditch, rolled 3 times, 100% totaled the car, he walked away shaken but not harmed. I told him later when he settled down that it was 100% driver error and he should not have hit the brakes, but rather counter steered and let off the gas.

Practice this in a parking lot with a NON MOVING car and never try this on a moving car.
If both rear wheels lock up, it doesn't really matter what the front wheels do. The car doesn't just turn on the front wheels. It does have 4 wheels. When you turn the steering wheel, the front wheels angle for the turn, but one of the rear wheels (the inside one) acts like a pivot, turning faster, while the outside wheel still turns too. If both rear wheels are locked up, the car can't steer properly no matter what kind of car it is.
Appling the e-brake turns off the anti-lock feature which could result in your losing steering control. With all of your wheels locked in an emergency situation (if you're also standing on your brakes), you can't steer. Sorry about the loss of your friend.
