absolutely necessary to apply braking

action only, and we stress only, if the

vehicle is approaching a ravine, a cliff,

or if you perceive the outcome to be

catastrophic, probably resulting in

fatalities. When a rollover is imminent,

all crewmembers should immediately

withdraw inside the vehicle, tighten seat

belts and hold onto a secure fixture,

until the vehicle comes to a complete

stop.
