Yikes check out this costly Tiger driving error at the Munich RC field
Starts at 31:25 with a slo-mo replay at 36:38 of this video. Poor guy. Can't believe how much water drained out of that tank

That’s kind of a manoeuvre I’d do...nice barrel roll though.

I watched the full video, and you can tell what the driver was thinking - he wanted to go down the slope to the side (I mean, how many of us wouldn't be tempted to do the same thing?). And, from the slow motion, what tripped him up seems to have been the edge of the bridge. So, it's possible that if the tank had gotten just a bit farther forward before making its turn, it wouldn't have rolled.
That said, that slope was pretty steep. Not sure trying to go down it was a good idea in any event...
