I would have said yes, it was probably a panic lift which caused the sudden weight transfer which pitched it sideways, but its easy to criticise when its someone elses "mistake"
By the sounds of what someone said earlier, he was trying to be a hero anyway?

He lifted off the throttle, hence why it snapped like that.

Got it in one, you can hear him lift then it snaps back.
A fiesta xr2 spun in front of me last year at Eurofest cos he let off.
