They must be some mighty powerful brakes, something silly like the gatorbrake 8 pot which is just plain silly.

m4s according to the other photos.
Argh!! i use those and i have 5 bolt rotors which will be even weaker. It's a good thing i'm not ham fisted when it comes to using my brakes on a dh run othewise i would be screwed if what Ads reckons is correct.

If you think about it on a long hard descent they heat up which soften them, any imperfections are going to get worse and the metal will get softer

but then again brakes survive that all the time so this guy must have been using a metal bar through the disc instead of pulling the lever
