Based on the pictures that I’ve seen posted, I find it very difficult to believe that the plane actually ‘cartwheeled’.

It ground looped around the Yaw axis as opposed to Cartwheeled which is rotation around the pitch axis.
The former is survivable the latter not so much

It must have spun horizontally on the ground; witness probably just misspoke.
