1. A method of machine loss of control detection comprising:

  • detecting operator intended motion of the machine or a part of it;

    detecting actual motion of the machine or the part of it; and

    determining machine loss of control in response to whether actual motion is materially different from operator intended motion;

    wherein the step of detecting actual motion is responsive to angular motion signals from a gyroscopic angular sensor and, optionally, linear motion signals from at least one accelerometer.
