I would rather mow them going up as you can stop the tractor because the tire tread is the correct way to bite.
I would NOT do it with an older tractor that is not equipped with a roll guard. I was using a JD 6400 MFWD , Roll bar and front end loader for counter weight. IT would really take some thing major going wrong for that tractor to go over backwards.
I went up and back down in the same tracks. I then moved over and cut another swath.
The side back in the first picture I mowed around the side. There is a large chunk of concrete at the bottom that prevents you from mowing up and down. That was a little hairy but the tractor is weighted well.
