2 cents:
I think that’s the worst way. At least if it rolls sideways you can jump and try to fall away from it or out run it.
When it flips over backwards, people ride it for too long and then you can’t jump once your legs/feet have rotated over your hips.
Then the tractor lands on you, pins your head to the ground and pushes your knees to your forehead.
Growing up, the first person I ever knew in a wheelchair was a kid whose spine was snapped trying to drive straight up a hill. If your tires grab when the front end “gets super light” over she goes.
Wheel weights help lower center of gravity.
Check out how many of these are backflips. Driven by fools, of course.

Cody, he's right about the grade--Saw it in person--The only practical (fast) way to cut that would be with a commercial ZTR and even that would be a pucker event, for me anyway.
