The Thunderbirds have difficulty with “shiny side up, greasy side down” because they keep both sides shiny.

The photos showed wheels were down. My guess is that he skidded off the side of the runway then flipped when one of the mains hit the grass.
IMO The F-16 has a decent anti-skid system (I helped build them while working at GD). Their shortcoming is a fairly narrow main gear base.
