Answer

Why do vehicles sometimes roll into the water in Palma’s harbour areas?

The most common reason is human error, usually when a vehicle is left unsecured. In busy waterfront areas like Palma, a forgotten handbrake or a brief moment of inattention can be enough if there are no barriers or other protective measures at the quay.
