Very limited options in a MSCP.

 

 

Rig in the mini axles for towing 4x4, or

 

use manpower or winch to upright car before normal towing, but = more damages

Thinking how to achieve this feat.

 

Ok, as he turn, left wheel go up the side kerb, he kan chiong, quickly do a full right turn to the max and step wrongly on accelerator at the same time. This way, he drives the car up the left side of the wall and as he realize his mistake, quickly pull handbrake and turn right some more......... Car then flips

 

Experts, the above can achieve this feat or not?

 

:D

Too much speed and over-steer to compensate the high speed at tight corner.

One or two tyres probably hit a kerb.

Flip and slide down the ramp.

 

Must be damm heartache for such a new car.

Most probably he list confidence for the car even after repair.

Hmmm...could be. But improbable that he can still pull handbrake, and there's no way he could have driven up the left side wall. At most scrape along it which won't result in a flip.

 

This looks more like a flip from Right to Left as there is no damage on the driver side panels, but the passenger side clearly displays signs of panel damage. So here's the theory...

 

1) While turning right to go down the ramp, his speed was fast and he made his turn too early.

 

2) Front end of car clears, but the driver-side Rear Wheel mounted a Ramp-Like curb (think these are quite common in MSCPs) lifting the car off the ground on 2-wheels.

 

3) Inexperienced driver continues holding steering wheel right, while conserving forward momentum. Physics does the rest!

 

4) For a clearer picture of how impact at a vehicle's wheels can easily cause a car to flip over, see the vid that Bro Toledo posted earlier appended below here for your convenience. But the impact here was on the right front wheel though...

 

 

5) Car slides down the ramp and front bumper comes off it's clips when contact was made with the flat ground of the lower level.

 

[shakehead] What a terrible waste of a brand new car!

Hmmmmm.

 

Based on this video, actually the driver could have just flipped by banging the left side of the ramp after turning at high speed.

 

I did not realize it took so little to flip a sedan.

Dunno...but if that were the case, most of the damage would be on the driver side panels. As we can see from the pic, the driver-side is virtually undamaged. Even the side mirror is intact...

The below picture on the other hand shows damage on the passenger side panels. Which is consistent with the theory that the car flipped on it's left, or passenger side, from the right side of the ramp to the left.

Your analysis is correct.

 

The general design of MSCP is that you have to turn right to go up or down a ramp, hence probably resulting in the chain of events that you have described.

Hahaha! I merely postulate the most likely scenario. We'll never know until the theory is supported by hard evidence ^_^
