That particular one is absolutely terrifying...
That particular one makes me think if any tire hits another car's rotating tire, you can flip a car. Wow.

If you hit another vehicle, slide into a curb, guardrail, open manhole cover or Bigfoot, you can flip any car......OTOH, if you are (and stay) on pavement, I'd imagine the F type is relatively hard to flip....certainly harder than a 2000 Ford Explorer with Firestone tires! LOL

Cheers,
Dave

Physics, inertia, momentum, and gravitational force, among other elements can play out in some very unexpected ways. Especially when related to vehicles in motion...

I gasp laughed at that one because it seems so surreal. Then saw the rest of the flips and felt bad for laughing. Reminds me of the monster truck clip that just went viral for a front forward flip.

And the other one you posted reminded me of that terrible movie with Charlie Sheen and Mick Jagger.
