So the stem can be pushed into soft ground without harm. That would solve
the
problem of having to lift out several well rooted feet of vine to relieve
the
stress on the stem.
Has anyone done this on purpose?
When you turn it up, I bet the fruit is uglier than a toads belly.

It is caused by rapid growth which causes it to roll over putting the stem
on top or bottom. I have had both. Once they have made up their mind to roll
over there's no stopping them. Blossom up makes a good lawn chair. You can
usually still flip them over and make a Jack-O'-Lantern out of them.
