He didn't press them hard enough. If he just road the brake enough so that it maintained speed but didn't slow down then he would of smoked the brakes. At that point the brakes wouldn't have been very effective and the only option would have been to select neutral or park. Why he didn't think to do that nobody will ever know.

C&D repeated the test and managed to stop their car from 70 mph in 190 ft with the throttle pinned using only the brakes.
