“On april 2, 2012 I went to a ranch that I work at, put my truck in park, put the brake on, and opened the gate. I drove through and did the same procedure to go to close the gate. My truck popped out of park,ran through it's parking brake, the door knocked me down and the front tire of my Dodge 3500 ran over both of my legs and my arm. It broke my legs but did not brake my arm. I am still recovering. At first I thought it was my fault until I learned that this happens a lot and people even die as a result of this injury. …”
