If you slow down the video you can see that everyone had their wheels turned to the center of the street except for that fast car the lady jumped out of, she had hers straight. They should have turned into the curb that way the tread of the tire grips the curb, unlike turning to the left and having your sidewall rub it.

I think inertia would have kept the cars going regardless, the street offers little friction and most of those vehicles way almost 2 tons, so the small amount of resistance created by the curb would most likely do nothing.

Like most people said, don't panic and you'll be fine.
