      Lol now I’m imagining someone cutting the break on an incline and the person trying to pull onto the road starts falling backwards

        I mean. Maybe. But in all actuality that doesn’t happen easily on automatic cars because of the way automatic transmissions are built. Parking pawl holds the transmission while it’s parked. Then the valve body system and the torque converter work together to keep the car moving in the direction it’s geared in. So in drive you’d be geared to move forward and so on.
