... pulled up the emergency parking brake (car not running) and exited the car to still find it rolling...
So how'd you do that? If the car's not running, put it in reverse (5spd) or park (auto). If you leave the car running with a kid inside, well... like you said, that's NOT SAFE.
The handbrake on our '01 is strong enough to hold it on a hill, but I'd never do that without putting it in gear. If I want to skid the rear wheels while driving on a dry road, I don't know if I can pull the lever hard enough. Handbrake turns in the snow sure don't take much muscle, but that's not a very severe test.
