I've seen this happen. An inexperienced driver was starting up a steep ramp to an unloading platform, stalled and rolled back, then for some reason popped the clutch instead of hitting the brake. The engine caught and began running in reverse. The driver didn't have a clue what was happening. The engine was running, he found a gear and went to try the ramp again....and went backwards instead, nearly crashing into the rig in line behind him. The look on his face was priceless.
