Definitely Toss: Too Common
Sorry, Lorne, but this is too common today. There are many stories in the archives of people failing to put their vehicles in park, etc, and being flattened or pinned by them. Thanks anyway, and submit again!

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
I actually have to disagree with Candi, while it isnt all that uncommon i still feel that that this one is particularly stupid, this is what park is for :)

I think I'm with Shadow here. Usually, such vehicles are left in "park" (or neutral) and roll of their own accord over the hapless passenger. In this case, it's bad driving compounded by stupidity. We'll let the readers decide on this one! Thanks, Lorne!
