Default Flipped Helix 150?

Just wondering how many have flipped their Helix 150? Just a week old and someone flipped mine.

My boys rolled theirs once. Hard left I think. But I attributed it to driving skill. Really cooled his jets for taking corners full-bore.

It happened again last week. This time I was in the passenger seat and we weren't going fast but a slight downward slope and a tight turn to the left and over it went. Nothing dramatic but my shoulder still hurts! It doesn't seem like this design should be easy to flip, but given just the "wrong" weight distribution and incline or speed and it does go over. I assume a Carbide would be even easier to roll.
