As far as cars go...since 1969 all gm vehicles and most others, have had a column lock, which keeps automatic transmission equipped cars in park. They generally don't "slip into gear". Manual transmission vehicles, on the other hand, could slip out of gear...but then...if you're deliberately parking an unused vehicle in an unsecure location on a hill or grade, and allowing kids to play in on or around it...maybe you do need insurance.
