One thing I didn't really take into consideration in my previous remarks is that there might have been some lift or aerodynamic instability that CAUSED the skid to start. So even though I don't think the roll was a result of the roof rails failing to spoil lift while the car was sideways, the whole thing may have started from some aero problem - - - - or something else. That stuff isn't always the easiest thing to figure out...
