Thumbs up Low oil light came on, off roading

So I was at Badlands off road park in Attica, IN and I was going up a steep hill and stopped at the peak of the hill for about 25 seconds to see what was on the other side, when the Low Oil light came on and shut my truck off. I rolled it back down the hill and let it sit, restarted and it was fine. My thoughts are, there is to many safety features on this motor

If there's one safety feature I don't mind, it's that one.

Or, maybe the truck stalled and showed the low oil pressure light because the truck wasn't running?

No, I figured that since i was on such a steep angle that the oil went to the back of the oil pan... I am going to check it now though. But i am sure its from being on such a steep angle for a prolonged time. The Low Oil flashed on my LCD screen so I dont think its from stalling.
