I think maybe for something along those lines would be prevented through software. If the software sees that it's coming up to something it's not going to travel across well, it's localized navigation system would kick in and find an alternate route. This could be created using obsticale avoidance (as any sharp incline would rise up to a level where the onboard sensor suite could detect) and through something along the lines of a gyro. The gyro could give the software feedback, letting it know that the car is at too much of an angle, and needs to back off and find another way.
