When I was in high school (would have had to have been around '96) I worked at the local pool. One day I came into work & parked on the side of the pool in a lot that was on a hill. I got out of the car, closed the door & started walking in. One of the girls sitting the lifeguard stand starts yelling my name & I turn around to see my car rolling across the parking lot. I took about 2 running steps before I realized I had zero chance of catching it & getting in it to stop it so I just decided to wait & see where it went. It hit a ditch, jumped over the road went onto the yard across the street (thankfully missed the house) & rolled into a field & hit literally the one telephone pole in the middle of a field.
I do have one other story although it goes in the "holy shit how did you not just destroy your vehicle" category. We were adding onto our house. The contractor was there doing some digging with a track hoe & when he finished he went to load it on the trailer. He had his truck backed up my driveway which was on a hill. He pulled the track hoe onto the trailer & when it stopped the momentum somehow broke the stop on the parking gear of his truck & it started rolling down the hill. So at this point he's on the track hoe on the trailer just along for the ride. My driveway aimed directly at my neighbor across the streets house so he's riding down my driveway heading right for the house across the street. Somehow his truck went between 2 very close trees & stopped in the ditch in front of the house. The trees were so tight that he had to crawl into the window to back it back out of the ditch. His truck didn't have a scratch.
