Minor Crash Flips Small Hatchback

Some Russian videos, despite being new, seem to have been filmed using a phone camera from the late 1990s. This is one of them, however, it demonstrates a very eloquent point which is well worth noting.
No matter how slow the speed, if the impact with an obstacle happens in a certain way, and the obstacle itself is of a certain shape, the car can and does flip, very easily, as is the case here.

In a similar manner to what happened here, the driver of the indistinguishable small black hatchback in this video barely clips the corner of a parked Opel Corsa, but ultimately ends up on its roof. You would never have expected such an impact... to have such an impact.

The Corsa doesn’t even have a particularly sloped rear end, which could act like a ramp of some sort, so the crash is all the more strange.
