I dont know why no one replied but yes you will be fine. When you put an automatic in park it uses a rachet like setting to stop the car from rolling. not somthing you want to do a lot but I do not think it will cause any long term issues

No one replied I'm sure because a simple search would have an answered his ?

Naw he said he reversed and then put it in park while the wheels were spinning. He heared the Parking pawl or parking pen clicking when he put it in park.
