Static / Dynamic rollover definitives required...

All good stuff screw job but I really needed a break from yours so while there I penned another in furtherance to the sunnywa comment here which I have been chewing over all day

That is what I would call finger trouble.

We all know that grace and the fall from it in these situations of close ground proximity can be damm quick.

However if the machine was dynamically rolling down slope (for reasons well enough defined why by AOTW, Whirly and Nick) and if hero has been able to roll upslope then it must follow that the low skid / wheel was free and the roll was simply a recovery from an unusual attitude.????? I.E. A Controlled CFIT.

One could easily be in a situation where a dynamic roll initiated after the landing was secure.

Say you landed with a load (just thought of a very funny joke about that, some other time) and you were sitting there at flat pitch with the disc conveniently parallel with the slope so as the ground crew have clearance to unload you, then as the load disappears a different C of G takes over and away you go.

This is another answer for Gravimans Q re the more from either landing or take–off.
