If you look at the skid marks at most thresholds at capital city airports it happens quite a lot. One problem can be the use of asymmetric thrust to turn the corner then applying take-off thrust before both thrust settings have stabilised. The ATSB had a good report on a Pac Blue 737 that departed the runway in Sydney several years ago for that very reason. He tried to steer it back onto the centreline instead of closing the thrust levers. It probably looked like that MD-88 in the video.
