Not sure how it happened or circumstances.

Following landing and approaching the high speed exit, understand someone reached for the Taxi Camera, but got the Park Brake instead. Location similar, but shape very different. Read a quote associating 70kts with the incident.

Parking brake mistake
Thank You Tom!
It appear to me that she was on the runway. I heard exactely the story of the wrong switch.
How thay have misunderstod/ confuse the action to turn a switch to a "pull up and turn 90 degree clochwise" action required by the Parking brake is only a chinese mistery.
Anyway, Apparently Airbus offered to paid for the damage and promptly remouve the Camera switch in another location (at list in the A380 Cockpit layout)

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...

Not familiar with Airbus parking brake system but every aircraft I operated on, both brake pedals had to be fully depressed before the parking brake lever could be set. In addition, a parking brake indicator and an anti skid hydraulic light indicator would illuminate; apart from enabling the voice recorder bulk erase cicuit. All this on a steam driven classic. Hard to belive that Airbus systems would be inferior to this standard.

This system is electrical and the operation you are talking about is true for a mechanical system.

On the A 320s I flew, the only indication would be that the park brake memo was on the ECAM but it was amber. No need to touch the brake pedals to set the parking brake on an airbus.
