Crazy story! Glad everyone is OK.
I always worry about this. When I was young and had a beater old truck, I used to carry a jonboat in the bed of the truck. One time I was dumping the boat into a Florida pond, the hand brake started slipping and the truck was rolling very slowly toward the water. Try as I might, I could not stop it at all. Luckily I had wheel chocks in the truck bed and was able to get one under a tire to stop it. The tailpipe, part of the bed, and back tires were already water when it stopped. I got it started and blasted out of there. That sure freaked me out. I hope it never happens again.
