Actually that happened fairly frequently back in the days of standard transmissions.  Leave the car in gear so it doesn't roll away, then neglect to push in the clutch before hitting the starter.


Holy crap!!  I just outed myself as an official old fart!!


My Fiat does not have a clutch intrupt.  It would be very easy to do, I always have to remind myself to check.

FTA:
Melissa Kupferberg spent the morning shooting pistols at a local range with her father, who was visiting from Maryland. They returned to her Seminole Heights home and began to clean the weapons.

But Kupferberg was having difficulty disassembling one of the pistols, Tampa police said. So she handed off a Glock Model 34 to her father, Stephen P. Kupferberg, 65.

Glock pistols require the trigger to be depressed to be cleaned. And as Stephen Kupferberg tried to tear down the pistol in his daughter's home around noon on Saturday, something went wrong.

A single shot was fired, striking Melissa in the upper body.


Damn, Damn, Damn........ Damn...DAMN.

Senseless..... I know we are all human and thus subject to mistakes.............but so senseless.

Man this type of thing gets to me...............


Regardless of the circumstances, a life was lost and a family is grieving...........
