there are very limited info in this movie but what is seen, and yet, all who come from the world of riding a motorcycle can identify two main mistakes that happened to this guy -
1. when he realized that he's losing the car he did very little to correct it, you can see a slight turn of the steering wheel but that's it
2. once he realized where is he going, he locked his eyes on the direction where he was going, the body than reacts and instinctively straight the wheel towards the direction the guy was looking, that, of course, also did not help the situation at all.
hopefully the guy survived that, and i wish the movie is there to demonstrate that,
but if there's something to learn from this is look at the direction you want to go, avoid locking your eyes on the obstacle, and learn to slide with your car, these skills are very relevant for a tail-happy car like S2k
ps - personally, i would be very curious to see the "after" pictures of the car, see how the S2K survived this roll-over

"OMG don't buy an AP1, they oversteer and kill you"
Right. Lift off oversteer will bite you in the ass in any RWD car if you don't know wtf you're doing at 80mph.
