You would think! But you would be surprised…
My (uneducated) guess is that they have some sort of “auto-assist” that senses the resistance of the bump and “helps” you over it. But in this case it launches you to the other side of the tactile blocks – very dangerous as you mentioned!
They really should warn people about this, and if there is an option to turn it off they should tell you how.
Thank you for the warning!
