In a fixed wing plane, one of the big things to worry about is a stall (which isn't possible in a gyro). I a plane, you get out of a stall by building airspeed - nose down and throttle up. If you do a sudden nose down and throttle up in a gyro at the wrong time a couple of things can happen - you can build up an unsafe amount of airspeed and you can put air the wrong way through the rotor, slowing it down. If you do that too low you'll crash (a gyro without a spinning rotor is just a brick). Basically avoid doing things which cause negative G. This is important enough that it's printed on a placard on all UK certified Gyros, but is also really easy to avoid doing.
