Well, g, part of the reason I laughed so hard is that I actually *have* experienced the horrifying ordeal of rolling backward off the edge of a mountain road.
But the terrain "over the edge" turned out to be fairly smooth - a grassy, sparsely-forested slope - and not 'too' steep. So when the brakes finally 'took hold', damage from the backward plunge was minimal - an external rearview mirror fixture bent by a tree.
I mean, it could have been *SO* much worse. ACK!
