The reason I mentioned the DC-8 was because as I remember they have no park brake warning system and one crash on take-off in the 70s was a suspected park brake locked on.

I assume all modern airliners have brake system cautions that display and become louder if you try to take off with them lit. Similarly the before take-off checklist would require a check of warnings prior to departure, airmanship would dictate you would have to re run from that item if the park brake was set until the caution removed, same as you wouldn't be silly enough to re-engage control locks after doing a control check.
