The spectacular crashes are usually the most surviveable. It's the sudden stop that kills people more than the bouncing and rolling.

the car never really hits on the roof, just the front and the rear. similar to the mid ohio crash in the rolex sports car series a few years ago.

Outside video of a somewhat similar incident at the same turn.

Possibly the runoff area should be re-graded to slope upwards, rather than drop off?
