7 mph was enough to send you three lanes over? Sure it wasn't flubber that you hit? |

I did something similar going less than 15 when I hit sand. 7 MPH with no grip is plenty enough.

Obviously the work of the JDM under panels providing +1000% extra downforce, when disrupted, causes catastrophe. |

Managed to do something very similar in my old Forester believe it or not, sub 20 mph into a downhill corner with ~1 inch accumulated snow, over 2 lanes and upside down in the ditch.
0 Injury to me and my GF at the time, and the kicker? We landed in a squishy marshy section and the only damage to the car was a smushed driver side mirror and some gnarly scratches... #Tank. At any rate, glad you're doing alright |

Australia. Other side of the road. No lanes over.

I was only about 2 foot off the road, but the drop away caused the nose to drop and then the car to roll.
I was doing about 40kmh, and probably 2-3kmh when I went over the drop. If it was 1m of flat on the side, I would have driven off with zero damage. |

Rolling isn't really that traumatic. I'd much rather roll a few times than hit an immovable object.

I am doubly blessed: that OP is as unscathed as I was, and that it looks like I can expect the same selfless heroism from my BRZ, if and when push comes to shove.
