So, what is the best practice to avoid that kind of accident?

It seems to me she veered left and made the jeep roll when punching the gas pedal.

That was fricken crazy, she was hanging out of that jeep practically when it stopped. They certainly looked a little stunned. That 2nd video just seemed pretty dumb to me, trying to go up that backwards, what ever floats his boat.

Going up backwards is pretty common with a rock Crawler. However.. in that particular case... he had blown out his rear drive shaft and only had front wheel drive. It was too slippery for him to go up forwards.. so he tried backwards.
