I know a fellow pilot who set the parking brake of his 737 in flight and wasn`t able to release it afterwards.
He declared an emergency , prepared the cabin , fire fighting equipment waiting for his landing , and.......when he turned final and set the landing gear down the parking brake released by itself.

The end of the story you imagine....

And another story of a guy in FK-27 who ser L/G lever UP on ground to prove to his cop.that nothing would hapen. This time it hapened.One main strut came up....

I definetely believe there are things you can not even touch whe you are not required to....
Just leave it there or do it in the sim....

Good flights....without experiences...
