Meaning Mnemonic
If you're on your scooter and you run over a root, you'll need to retreat. The roots have obviously rejected you, they want you to leave, so you should.
Reading Mnemonic
You're trying to retreat by scooting backwards, but the roots grab onto your tie (たい). You try to pull your tie off but it's just getting tighter and tighter around your neck.
