Mmmmm, wonder how many BMW M cars meet that fate..?? A few, no doubt. 

Wonder if the Cooper being loaded on the flatbed in the background was involved?
2011 BMW X3 35i Vermillion Red, MSport
and
2012 Toyota Camry SE V6 in Alpine White

from the mud patches on the road it looks as if he became airborne way back past that mini and did a couple of full rotations before coming to a stop... and I'd bet he hit something REALLY hard before that.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
