    Good point, guys. I made my comment based solely on how it works, rather than considering where it's mounted. Putting it out of reach under normal flight conditions certainly mitigates the problem.

    Mine is mounted on the back side of the seat truss, like I showed in the picture I posted of it. It is very much out of the way there, actually the knob is a bit hard to reach with my fingers, and where it's located, I'll probably never kick it, actually the way it works, you have to pull the knob forward to set it, pushing it back releases the parking brake.
