I watch videos of such incidents, fun to watch, and it always strikes me just how much kinetic energy there is which needs to be dissipated when traction goes away. In one case, the poor sob misses a corner, slides, hits the tire wall a mile away or so it seems.

A bump in the air from leaving the track and having a wheel dig in immediately and flip your car into a roll with NO sliding is a reality. You roll bar is for this purpose and it should be designed and installed properly.
A modern Porsche getting up around 40 degrees from horizontal will trigger ALL the air bags, seen that up close, guy went and bought a track car.
