The sway bar has the ability to dig into the ground (as it does in this video) when dropping the front end very hard. What happened is that the throttle stuck, he pulled hard back up off the gas, the right front part of the sway bar caught the ground as it twisted and he went flipping.
The idea of the sway bar is smart. It gives you left rear drive when the track is drying off, but I'd rather not have the bar sticking out there for it to catch like it did on Hockett's car.
