And what all of the fluids in the motor, oil sloshing around and all. Maybe the white smoke near the end is a telltale sign of it.
Tom Meents is arguably the best monster truck driver ever. He and Dennis Anderson (Grave Digger) redefined the sport from simply car crushing to the physics demonstration it has become.

If it were me designing my engine to be brutally used in such a manor the engine would have a dry sump configuration. Most of the oil volume would be in a separate tank, a savaging pump in the sump would replenish the oil in the tank This will not keep all of the oil out of the sump and obviously cannot scavenge while upside down, but you are also not subjecting the cylinder bores with 2 gallons of oil while on its side or upside down.
