Bugs,
Let me know anyways if I’m wrong there and I’ll stop trying to learn something from your scary experience and what others think is the best maneuver in a similar situation.

How tall is the suspension ? Going over loses traction so I think that increases the probability of losing control. The higher it goes the higher the chances of flipping over. Some damage is already a given, metal and plastic can be fixed or replaced. The airbags if the truck has them will pop in a direct smack which has others implications. Is stomping on the brakes advisable here ?
