In the case of splashdown it looks like a wheel got dropped off the track so the sudden change in traction initiated the spin.

But yeah, lift off oversteer is very real in this car as I've discovered more than once on the AutoX circuit where I have everything turned off. Interestingly, I keep everything turned on on the track (or maybe sport mode) and I find if I'm driving smoothly it never kicks in. It's when I start over-driving or tossing the car around like I'm on AutoX that it gets upset.

Anway, glad the OP and friend was ok - that was a testament to structural integrity but also a fair bit of luck.
