Yep. People aren't really aware that their "transmission park" lock is just a little pin. You are holding 4000lbs of steel with a 1/2 inch steel pin! They can and do fail especially if you let the car roll on a hill after letting off the brake to let the transmission take the load. Fortunately they are pretty strong given their small size.
