For your own peace of mind

A lot of my pucker factor incidents happen when the high side wheel rolls over a rock/clod or the low side wheel falls in an unseen hole.

In either case, the tilt meter would be showing fine, and no alarm bells would be going off--until the event happened. By the time it registered "TOO MUCH", I'd be busy trying not to roll over!

When I'm on an unfamiliar slope, I have my FEL brushing the ground (can't get lower without scooping dirt), the seat belt is ON, and I'm moving at a snail's pace. Even at that slow pace, things can happen fast.

An engine kill device may also hamper safety by killing the engine, and HYDS in a case where you exceded the angle.. but still needed hyds to maneuver safely back to a stable position.. etc.

i admire the idea but dont think it is really workable, that is because so many things change the roll over point of a machine, hieght of loader, load in bucket weight of impiment on the 3PL. position of impliment (up / down ). etc etc.
