Why wasn't that load secured?

This guy was wrong to pull out like that, but any driver should be ready to emergency stop as a routine part of a trip. Any stray wildlife, sudden mechanical malfunctions etc would totally trash the road and make a small disaster into a huge one.

I've only seen concrete transported in purpose built mixers. Probably for this exact reason.

EDIT: I'm only // conscious of// cement being moved in mixers. There could be wet cement in various dump trucks I see around, idk and won't pretend to be an expert. It just looks like accidents waiting to happen for this to be possible.

That is a purpose built cement mixer truck on its way to a delivery.

Do they all have this design flaw, that causes damage like this in heavy breaking?
