Flipping over a W123?

I've got kind of an odd question here guys. Im 17 and my mom doesn't like it when I drive sometimes. She seems to think it's easy to flip over the 300D, because she heard some mechanic tell a story about his daughter doing that. After I put in my bilstein HD's I have been taking corners rather hard at times...boy oh boy do these help the handling, especially after the stock 20 year old shocks.

Yes, I know these cars are definitely not porsches (not like i'd know anyways) but I like to have some fun when I'm driving. Does anyone have any experience or theories on how you'd flip a w123 over? Since they ride rather high I guess it'd be easier to flip than say, my sister's '00 Corolla, but I'd think you'd have to be going at some rather high speeds and doing stupid things with the steering wheel.

I just wanna say I'm not worried at all about the car flipping over, and like many of my peers feel pretty confident behind the wheel of my panzer...but I'd like to perhaps settle my mother's fears and hopefully stop the nagging...
Any input?
