Flipping a car at very low speed is pretty simple when there is a large embankment lol

I worked a wreck once where an old lady swerved to avoid a cat and ended up lightly hitting a tree. Everything should have been fine, but then she goosed the throttle a bit backing away from the tree, went up on a low retaining wall on the other side of the street and flipped her Cadillac onto its roof.

It was a small, very quiet street, so when I got there and saw a little old lady sitting on the wall next to her upside down Cadillac Deville I was perplexed as to how she had pulled that off.
