Garage I worked in a mechanics doing a repair on an automatic gearbox inhibitor switch, an inhibitor switch prevents you from starting the engine if the cars in gear, he's adjusting the switch then testing setting by leaning in car window and putting car in and out of gear while also flicking the ignition switch to see if circuit is dead or alive, after resetting switch again he leans in window puts car in reverse and flicks ignition switch, engine fires up (he'd failed to disconnect a wire to prevent it doing so), car sets off down workshop with him dangling out of window, came to a stop hitting two cars,,, oops...
Unfortunately I was in another part of the workshop at the time and missed the fun, only saw the aftermath...
