Man, I don't know. High-side on purpose? What if you don't "time" it right... it will slam you even harder into the car or pavement, instead of over it. And in this case she was right at the passenger window, more difficult to go over the top.
I suggest a "High-Side" practice course. A stationary car, covered with mattresses to roll over.
Nominal registration fee, insurance and EMT standing by!
