Maybe your monitor's upside down?

I think it’s easier to flip a car than you might imagine. If you catch the appropriate conditions. I know it’s not in real traffic and the cars are set up to make it easier but if you see a stunt show where they run a car up onto two wheels (short of flipping of course) it’s done at relatively low speed with quite a gentle ramp. In real driving conditions, if a car catches the kerb or other “launch aid” at the right angle, up you go.

Driving like a loon of course helps.

Its still not that common but the ready availability of cameras and online publicity probably makes it feel that it is.

Dry roads in particular, wide grippy tyres, cars higher overall than the ones they replaced, deskilled drivers who never learned to drive by the seat of their pants and never will because the car is controlling itself rather than the driver doing so, overall cornering speeds far higher than they once were (witness trying to emerge at some roundabouts which resemble race tracks), possibly these and many more reasons all add up.

I've seen dozens of videos from here and abroad where it can only take a minor oblique glancing blow, ie a car passing stationary car hits the car as it passes and almost instantly the moving car flips.

High CoG vehicles such as 4x4's have always had a tendency to flip given enough force, the trend to SUV style designs in recent years must have had an effect here, having run large Toyota 4x4's for years its surprising just how small my Landcruiser is when parked compared to so many now, 20 years ago you could spot my old bangers from across a huge car park now its the same height.

Its one area where lower slung battery cars should feature less, given the battery mass concentrated under the passenger compartment.

There's a set of bends on the road in/out of this village that see a car in the ditch or adjoining fields several times a year. Occasionally they're upside down.

Most are driven by young men and speed/loon driving is the cause. The odd one looks more like they clipped the verge and overcorrected first on way then the other.

Why do so many cars appear to be flipped upside down on social media? Is this a design flaw in modern vehicles?

Why do so many people accept that everything on Social Media is truthful.

Trying to remember when I last saw a car on its roof and I simply cannot recall any.

Probably staged to get some reactions.
