Pinballing Suzuki Swift Somehow Didn't Flip During 'Ring Smash

After bouncing off Armco barriers at either side of the track, this Swift rental car came incredibly close to flipping over, but manage to land back on four wheels

After looking at the thumbnail for this video, I was sure this little Swift would have ended up on its side or roof. But incredibly, despite the perilous angle it reaches, the plucky little car lands back on four wheels.

According to the uploader, the occupants of the Swift were not hurt. However, having had a quick at the website for the rental company, the driver is now facing a €5000 excess and most likely the cost of that Armco they slapped…

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, that luck tho! (And physics seemingly just stopped working for a bit)

He most likely would have rolled over if he’d have been moving in the opposite direction at that angle.
Because it looks like the resistance of the dirt/grass on the two tires on the ground was what kept him from landing on the side.
