I remember well the story of the chap who left his kids in the Morgan and went into a shop, it must have been a four seater, the kids were mucking about as kids do.... so easy to release handbrake.... and they did, the Morgan was on a hill, and off they went...!!!
Fortunately no damage to the kids, but the Morgan took a hit.. Your choice whether to park in gear or not but perhaps best to engage your brain when making choices..
Sure handbrakes can stick on if the vehicle is laid up or even parked at an airport car park for a couple of weeks, dependant on climatic conditions...
Any idea of how many people have damaged themselves, sometimes considerably so, since electric handbrakes with digitally programmed auto release came into use..?
Yup handbrakes are ..err...handy, but over reliance on them may be unwise..?
Just thinking in type..
