i doubt the parking break would have helped...it depends on how high the car was idling when cranked...
what happened:
kid pushes clutch in (cant start a manual unless the clutch is in, sometimes u can do it in neutral, but it wouldnt be N ...because, well duh, it wouldnt move)
kid starts car
kid lets go of clutch
usually, the car will hop and die
but...for one reason or another (maybe the stupid kid was pushing the gas too?) the car was idling high enough for it to move...
get gets scared, somehow forgets where break is...
the PB MIGHT have helped..doubtfull though
this is why when i had a manual i put it in 3rd, not first...its not going anywhere unless someone holds the gas down all the way, even then it would be slow
anywho, the dad is completely retarded...the kid is pretty stupid...i suppose the apple doesnt fall far from the tree
edit:
after review the video a few times, i found u can distincly here the kid panic and hit the gas instead of the break...
whats funnier, is apparently some kids bike was in the abck of the garage and it got ******...listen to the kid at the end "john, dont worry, u will get a new bilke"...
also, the car is pretty fvked...if you look one of the last frames, you will see the garage is up a little on about 1/2-1ft of concrete...the front is hanging off...the bottom has to be all scraped up...k-member, engine mounts, tranny, rack & pinion...all fcked...this kid would be toast if i were his dad...boarding school the next day...but then again, if i were his dad i wouldnt let him have the keys in the first place
