Parking brake situations can unfold very quickly and cause panic when you suddenly realize the vehicle is rolling. It's instinct to try to stop it any way you can, including w physical force. All that has to happen then is to lose your footing and you are dead.

I know of a similar situation where an older guy, (but not that much older than me), stepped out of his PU truck and it started rolling backwards. He tried to open the door and get one foot in to push the parking brake but the wheels were turned to the right so it backed over his foot and he went under. Dead. Just like that.

Horrible tragedy w this young guy. Just a freak accident but I can see exactly how it could happen.
