is it a rare thing that a driveshaft breaking causes the car to flip over?

That ds loop has enough adjustability that it works on our verts.

import slayer......Regardless if you will flip..you will beat the **** out of the bottom of the car, I have plenty of pics to show the damage one caused on mine when it broke.
