Every diesel has the possability of starting if the machine is rolled or bumped while in gear. While it is true that newer equiptment has less of a chance than older stuff it can still happen. Take my tractor. A Ford 861D. It is shut down by turning off fuel at pump through throttle lever. Now I load it on a trailer and leave it in reverse. (Lets assume) My tractor starts easy with just a little cranking but the throttle linkage is a little loose. From going down the road and hitting bumps my throttle moves from closed position to idle position. Now I hit a few more bumps which cause tractor to roll a little. Remember this is a diesel. All I need is fuel and crank rotation to start. No spark needed. So what happens...... It starts in reverse and if I am lucky the chain catches it and the tires just spin. If I am unlucky it gets traction and breaks chain and backs off trailer while I am in truck going 70 MPH down the road right in front of your car.
While the new reneration may tell you it is OK; ask any one over 40 and they will tell you. If your a$$ is not in the seat it should not be in gear.
