oh, well then u dont need ur parking brakes or anyhting else checked, user error, u probably thought u put it in gear when u didnt, or something that u forgot, but i guess ur main questoin was if there was any damage? a user already mentioned its nothing to worry about. how did the car stop itself? did u press onthe brakes? did it hit the curb? or u didnt do anything and it stopped?

read the manual. You're suppose to leave it in reverse when parking downhill.
