Good video Zoe - nothing embarrassing about that.
Many years ago I saw the aftermath of this wake turbulence accident in Wellington.

A 185 got caught in the wake of a previously departed RNZAF 727 and was rolled 90 degrees to the right before hitting the runway.
Miraculously both occupants survived.
And the pilot of the 185 in that case was an international airline captain no less.
Scary stuff.
