  1. From the video, the snapped rear suspension rod had such a clean cut that it seemed more like a fatigue fracture instead of impact fracture so that's definitely suspicious. I would take the cut to some lab or manufacturer for inspection (you cannot trust the design if it failed because of metal fatique). However, the snap sound seems to match with streering wheel movement very accurately (I would say more accurately than human reaction time) so that would suggest something failing on the front suspension.

  2.  @ilvesman  Yes, to be able to figure out this kind of crashes, you would need multichannel audio recorder in the car and have maybe 6–8 contact microphones glued to the body of the car. And even then, it could be only be used to differentiate between driver error and technical error. And as it appears that Misha is going to take responsibility in either case, it really doesn't matter in the end.

  3. Great that you're okay and I'm already looking forward for the rebuild video.
