Im pretty sure that auto trannys do not allow for that to happen.
Can't speculate on anything else, but I accidentily did it to a customers Grand Am on a roadtest :nervous: The tires locked up instantly. Only lasted maybe 2 seconds before I quickly put it back in D.

when we replaced the front suspension on my dads 88 camry, we had to take the calipers off, so we had to release brake line pressure. then my dad replaced the spark plugs and went for a test drive, he tried pressing on the brakes but nothing happened (since we didnt bleed the lines) so he yanked the e-brake and slammed it into park. now the tranny doesnt really downshift, lol.
when I was learning to drive I was going down hill on a dirt road and the car shut off and it wouldn't get the brakes, I panicked and put in in reverse and than on park, the car made all sorts of noises and it finally stopped, after having a mechanic check the car I ended up bending some kind of pin that was part of the tranny and it was replaced. so i guess some cars do have some kind of safety feature to prevent this :dunno:
I actually did this in my 91 civic HB a couple years ago... Just a wee bit tired, driving a friend home, passed some old fawker in D3 and accidentally shifted to R. I remember that moment of terror when I saw the white lights in my rear-view. Oddly enough, nothing happened. In fact, the tranny still works fine to this day.
