There is a low fuel generator shut-off. The generator gets its fuel at a higher point on the gas tank than the engine. The design is for an engine gas reserve after the generator runs out. If the generator outlet is in the back of tank, braking or backing up hill will starve the generator as the fuel moves to the front of the tank.

If the fuel flow is only temporarily interrupted by braking or backing I'd think the unit would continue to run off the fuel in the carb. At least most of a minute or so until supply is restored
If it were mine I'd try to replicate failure by backing up driveway and when it stops I'd put it in park, set brake and grab my multimeter to see if I have 12v power to the generator's ignition. If there's an ignition relay in the circuit check for power in and power out.
The part about it shutting down when going over bumps could indicate something mechanical causing loss of power to ignition.
Low oil shutdown could also be near the top of the list for cause.
