I had an American R-V (Motor-home) built on a Spartan (Fire Engine) Chassis. The Parking Brake was on the transmission "Prop Shaft", an idea which if I recall was also used by Land Rover on the "series" vehicles?.

Cardin Shaft brake.
A lot of secondhand Japanese imported trucks in NZ have them.
From outside the truck I managed to start a Hino 8x4 parked in reverse gear with the cardin shaft handbrake on.
With its ramp down it went backwards along the main shopping street till I leaned in and tuned the motor off.
I learnt a lesson that night, but that truck was like a 22 tonne go kart and I would regularly find myself going to fast into corners.
