You can see some of this I think if you watch the video very closely as the suspension unloads from the left hand side for two or three frames before starting to go around.
Did you feel this happening after you dropped a wheel off? If so, yes, VSC was trying to save you. However, as I said before, this type of situation is almost impossible to save, even with stability control.

On a totally unrelated note, do you go with HOD very often? I've been to several with them so I'm wondering if I've seen you there.
Yes, I frequent HOD events. You have probably seen me there.

BTW, this is a real tank slapper (start at 0:53)
