You should not rely on gauges while performing steep ascents, descents, or sideslopes. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>You can't be serious, can you? I guess the military, state highway departments, forestry workers all are dumb to rely on their inclinometers, clinometers, slope indicators, etc.
I guess their training in using the instruments to help in maitaining safety and not relying on their "pucker factor" is a bad idea to you. Come on, maybe the common idiot will roll his vehicle because he doesn't understand what he is doing but since when is the average person at a disadvantage due to accurate and reliable information like what a gauge would be providing?
Some people are scared at a 15 degree side slope and others wouldn't realize that they are at a dangerous 35-40 degree slope, so how why should one not rely on the accurate information from a gauge. It is likened to telling a pilot not to rely on his gauges.
