More likely to be the springs that are way to soft. Going as slow as you are in that video, shocks dont have very much impact on the risc of rolling over.
But the main reason is still too narrow tracked for the height. Get some spacers on and you'll do much better.

At least as long as you don't expect it to withstand a highspeed rollover or rolling down a hill.

Highspeed or not. For competition use you NEED a diagonal crossbracing in the main hoop.
As the cage is now it does not provide any real additional safety for the driver and co-driver. It just gives a bit more protection to bodywork when driving around trees and in a very slow rollover as we just say in the video.
For comp use, safety first. Always.
