Groundloop. An involuntary, uncontrolled and usually sudden circular turn when moving on the ground, caused by directional instability.
Wet or long grass might decrease the ground roll by 30%, however there is a possibility that a wet surface can induce aquaplaning, adversely affect braking and/or result in a groundloop. Long grass can catch a wingtip resulting in a groundloop.
