    It has the same energy as “my accelerator got stuck and I couldn’t stop my car”. There are ways to stop the car, you just didn’t do any of them.

        The only difference between park and neutral, as they both disengage the torque converter, is a small pin called a “parking pawl”. It’s basically not capable of stopping a vehicle. Your best bet is always the parking brake. I refuse to own a car without a physical one, they should be mandated as a safety item honestly.
