Agree. Worse case might even go spinning in front of traffic. Not that free roll is great of course.
Saw near disaster with an electric 1/8 last summer set on full brakes. Guy set it down on the side, walked up to the line at the drivers stand and got into a conversation. Turned off the radio for some reason, meanwhile he forgot it still had reverse turned on for practice....yikes. Not the first time I've seen similar.
