other problem can be putting the handbrake on when the discs and cals are hot, as they cool they lose the grip on the disc.

Bad news that good job no one was hurt though.

Vaugly remember seeing something like this on the old citroens on TV once, when they cooled down the cars would just roll off. Wonder if they had a hydralic handbrake fitted as well? or if it was just french and therefore sh*te

It might be worth putting a line lock in for the rear part of the system. That way you can pump it up with the foot brake and then lock it off. It shouldn't free up when the disks cool down then. What Pukka said is best though, always leave it in gear as a safety net. Hope it doesn't cost you to much to sort out
