Unhappy Boxster devastation

This is just not my week. So I got my oil changed last night (see previos post) and today I was going to get the car washed and waxed. My mother in law was with me and asked to back the car out, I obliged. I went outside and got the hose and buckets ready. The car is always set in reverse gear with the handbrake on when in the garage. She started the car, put down the handbrake, and let go of the clutch and through some logic I cannot understand got the car to back up 4 feet with the door open until the door hit my garage wall. I was standing behind the car, outside the garage, with a bucket in hand and a large smile on my face until that incident. The driver side window shattered and I was hit by glass, she also got hit by glass (mostly of her left hand). The car also sustained driver side door damage (along with the shattered window). Tearfully I relieved my mother in law of duty and got in the car and reparked it in the garage. Not sure what the next step is, I may go out and workout the anger and tomorrow decide what to do with the damage. I may claim this on my insurance if it is over $1000 otherwise Ill just pay for it myself. Anyway had to get some of the anger out thanks for reading.





And yeah thats glass on the top, it's also on the hood and al over the outside of my house.
