Yes, it happened during hot laps, right in front of me in turn 1. As I recall, he got sideways down the front stretch, maybe touching the wall, and rolled over backwards peeling the bolt on cage. He continued without protection for several rolls and stopped entering turn1. The officials came out and put a sheet over the cockpit. Many, myself included, left and went home. End of discussion about the need for built in cages.
