They were light enough that with the help of a couple of spectators he should have been able to right it & been back in the race.

I used to love watching Minis at the production races at Mosport, Ontario 
before the F1 and CanAm races in the 70s.

Huge crowds would gather at Moss Corner (the hairpin) and the higher the inside 
rear tire got the louder we'd cheer. If the inside front lifted it became an 
uproar. Once one rolled over and the crowd went berserk. The racer was right 
into it though: jumped out of his crumpled machine waving both hands over his 
head at the delirious crowd.

Jolly good fun.

Lovely photo.

Cheers,
