gotten out of the car when it began to slide

Sorry, that's hard to believe.

You get out of the car, and then it starts to SLIDE?

So... having the parking brake on is not going to help if the dang thing is SLIDING...

Yes, “sliding” seems unlikely - absent a steep, ice-covered slope. The only way I see something like this occurring is by leaving the shifter in *neutral*, allowing the car to roll.

I'm sure what it did was roll not slide. It is common for automatic transmissions to hold temporarily on an incline but if the car is jarred in the slightest the transmission will not hold. I have had this happen before. I parked and forgot to set the brake. As I close the door the car started to roll. Thankfully it didn’t go too far before hitting a high curb and stopping.

Maybe god is sending a message to Glenn, watch yourself, not from the almighty but from others who want to make his demise look like an “accident”....

A little quick to put the blame on Glenn aren't you? Or are you one of those lovely “Glenn is crazy” venomous types?
