>From reading the instructions on the site, I would say it is impossible to
accidently go into reverse.  You have to pull up on a ring and downshift
from 1st to get Reverse.  And yes, I am sure you would have to click down
through the gears....I usually do this anyway on my stick cars...some
people think engine braking is bad...I have done it since day one with now
ill effects...clutches last the same, brake pads last longer.
