As someone who works in the automotive door industry, this is actually really interesting.
The outer panel of the door isn't added to the door until the rest of the metal structure of the door has been assembled. The outer panel is loaded into a press with the rest of the assembly, and when it closes, it folds the edges of the outer panel over, clamping them to the rest of the door. Usually some sealer is also involved.
So essentially that branch hit the door in just the right spot to pop the folded over part open enough to pull the outer panel back off the door. That's pretty amazing.
