You think car companies didn't plan for that? It'll just slowly and safety decelerate and come to a stop. Literally the best way to stop your car. Phone Post 3.0

lol that's not what happened at 15 mph. At 15 mph the wheels locked and screeched and there was a loud banging sound.

The tail shaft can snap and dig into the ground flipping the car over end on end.

Back in in high school my girlfriend accidentally put my truck into park while going down a hill at about 50 mph. All I remember is that it killed the engine. I quickly put it in neutral and coasted to the bottom of the hill. Had to restart the truck but everything was fine. Phone Post 3.0

How are you guys accidentally doing this? Maybe it's different on older cars or something, but it won't easily slide into park while you're driving at speed. You'd have to force pretty hard to get it to do that Phone Post 3.0
