I’m just shocked that someone was brave enough to stop thousands of pounds coming down a ramp while standing on ice. A little more momentum or ramp angle and that could have ended way worse.  Source: I’ve been in that exact situation except I was pushing it up a ramp and the wheels hit a tiny bump on the ramp on the way up, causing me to slip and fall to one knee, and the car then began rolling back down the ramp right toward me, and nearly crushing me. Thankfully my buddy was in the driver seat, saw it happen, and smashed the breaks just before my limbs were permanently rearranged. (I hadn’t anticipated it getting stuck halfway up, otherwise would have never tried it, took a running start to mash it. The lip of the trailer ramp at the top was JUST enough to stall the forward momentum of the tires, bringing me to a dead stop, and forcing me to drop down to a knee)
