WOW!!! women...

well i thought her wheel being on a turn position had hit the pole (base of the gate) and that's where she flipped that much, too much force that the rubber tire bounced it from the solid surface which is the pole - i had been in an accident similar to this, not in this stupidity tho', i was kinda driving fast and i made a turn to avoid something instead i hit one of those electric pole (yellow-pole that protects big generators/switches on the intersections) i flipped bu tonto sideways only - car was a ford festiva, so light that car is. well i think she slammed on the accelerator instead of the brakes! ???

Impressive... perhaps she was on the phone or doing her makeup.

Looks like a Lada or Fiat 124 Sedan parked in the background...
I have a '72 Fiat 124 sedan just like it!

Actually, I think she had some serious driving skills. I can't see how you could accidentally do it... its almost purposeful hahaha.

after a very long, detailed, and in depth analysis of the video <aka, im pulling this out of my a$$> it seems as if during the first part of the impact, she hit the side of the bumper and pushed it in deep enough to leave enough of the tire uncovered AND then the tire hit the post; being a fwd, the tire basically 'climbed' up the gate post, pulling the passenger side of the car up and you know the rest, which means she never used the brake but instead kept on gassing the poor sucker.. and like a lot of you are saying, it'd take 'mad skillz' do redo that stunt !!
