If you follow this procedure you will not get the rattle. Reverse is the best gear to have the car in to keep it from rolling when you are not in the car.

That video seems totaly set up. If you notice the car starts then lurches forward a bit then goes flying into a dark garage. Then you see the aftermath and the front end doesn't seem to have any damage just some wood around it and it is up against another wood wall.
As I said before no car sold today will start without your foot on the brake. If that video was real you would see the car lurch forward while he was turning the key not after the car actualy started.
