 My car had been parked for several hours at a relatively flat area at the top of a hill. when i got in to start the car, the light came on that the tail gate was open. i went to the back of the vehicle to slam the gate and the window. when i got around to the front door of the car and opened it, i heard a pop and the car started rolling. i stuck my foot in to get my foot on the brake, but the open door knocked me down and the car continued rolling till it hit a stone wall. i am sure that i had the car in park. that day i got a rental car which has the gear shift on the floor. my car has the gear shift on the dash board. for days, every time i stopped, my hand would automatically go up to the dash board to move it into park. i am sure i had the car in park. it was not rolling when i was standing behind it to slam the tail gate and window. it was not rolling when i went back to the front door. i don't know what the pop was, but that was when the car started rolling. fortunately, my injury was slight. when the door knocked me down, i rolled away from the car. the bottom of the open door bruised and gouged the front of my right leg. i did not go to the hospital. *la
