I was there, mini's doors basically flew open and pealed away, letting arms and legs of passengers (student and instructor) get crushed by the car as it rolled over. They are lucky their torsos did not make it outside.

Second incident at willow springs, same thing happened, but driver was killed when his torso exited the vehicle while rolling.

It was pretty obvious to me, after seeing how the passengers were injured at TWS, I will never ride in a Mini on a track at high speed. Sucks because it could have been a freak accident/or the new models fixed, but seeing that car, it was so obvious in your gut that the car just failed those guys when they needed to be protected.
