I rolled a dump truck in my earlier days. Although it was by no means a "mini" anything, this thread brought back memories......I thought I'd get fired - they just gave me a new dump truck and sent me to a safety meeting. Ah...state government jobs....

I trust your friend was OK. Man that sucks.

Care to describe how that happened?

There was two sisters in the car, one came out okay but the other suffered a fractured C1 vertebrate. It looked like they just came into the corner a little too fast and then over corrected. They slid off the road, down a fairly steep embankment until the tires dug in. When that happened it sent them airborne into a roll, landing on the roof.

My experience

Not a MINI but still in the same family. I was a passenger we spun out hit a wall bounced off and rolled 3 times.

Wow that sucks even worse. I hope your friend has a full & speedy recovery.

Once this is all done you may want to get your friend some advanced driver training. It may save a life.

Ditto. Sorry to hear about that. I hope she mends quickly. She is now a Babe In Goodstanding of The Inverted Turtle Society (B.I.G. T.I.T.S.) If she replies with her address, I'll mail her a sticker. Sad to say, the club is growing.
