What action should be taken if the tractor begins to roll due to a slope?

Staying inside the tractor and bracing against the seat is the safest action to take if the tractor begins to roll due to a slope. This approach is crucial because exiting the tractor in such a situation can result in severe injury or even death. When a tractor rolls over, the driver can be at risk of being thrown out or trapped underneath the machine. By remaining inside, the driver has a better chance of avoiding being ejected and can protect themselves by maintaining a secure position within the seat.

Bracing against the seat helps mitigate the effects of the roll. It supports the body and helps maintain a center of gravity within the tractor, giving the driver a better chance of maintaining control until the tractor comes to a stop or the situation stabilizes. Ensuring that the seatbelt is worn can also add an additional layer of safety during such emergencies.
