Almost happened to me this past sunday. Was on a group cancer run and pulled into a gravel parking lot. Kicked her down and leaned her over and she kept on going. Held it up, don't know how. Turns out, my back wheel was in a little pot hole and I don't think the stand ever locked in. That and it wasn't the first stop of the run.

you probably should have been using a jiffy stand (whatever that is ). I have never had one roll on me like that. I have had one sink into the mud though. It wasn't muddy when I parked it.
