This. It looks like the distance from the slalom cones to the edge of the pavement isn't much more than the width of a car.

Not everyone is Ayrton Senna... in fact, *most* people are new or aren't very experienced, so the courses need to be designed with this in mind. Of course, the burden of responsibility is on the driver for not going too far beyond their limits, but the event organizers in this case should be doing a better job to mitigate damage and liability as much possible. The most I see in the video is a minor driving mistake at best that should not have led to a rollover. I don't blame the driver at all, and I'm glad they are okay.
