hitting the go pedal ...
Yes, Lynn, the standard response when coming over the top of a knife edge or step is to hit the accelerator as the tank noses over and the weight starts coming down onto the forward end of the tracks, thereby avoiding an 'end over end' as happened in the film. Part of my Leopard AS1 driver's course was learning to negotiate a knife edge and a vertical drop & climb. On one pass, I managed to gently bring the tank to a neat halt at the top, in perfect balance!
