I think the hero did well by folding. The problem here is obviously the BB preflop call. Think about what kind of hand you need you all tights-aggressifs players to play against a reraiser and a maniac when out of position. My read on the BB is: AK as the only possible connector, TT or better. But he would have bet with TT, JJ probably check raise with QQ, KK , AA and check fold with AK. Then raising for our hero is good only if the maniac bets a non pair hand AND if the BB has AK. I think calling would have been a good option but he probably knew that that call will cost him 2 bets...
excuse my poor english..
