https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSX_8888_incident https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSX_8888_incident Is the only other one I know about; the engineer got off to change a turnout and was unable to reboard as the train accelerated away.

The fact that braking could be confused with accelerating, especially on a vehicle which can effectively only travel in two directions, sounds more like a big UI failure to me.
