Narrative:

I checked and set brakes, checked throttle, looked at control panel. I turned on left magnetic, went around to start aircraft while passenger got in on right side. I went out and pulled on propeller to check brakes. I then turned over propeller, walked around to left side of aircraft, and it started to roll forward. I pulled on left strut and by doing this, I turned airplane into a parked airplane beside mine. It might be that when the passenger got into the airplane he could have bumped the throttle forward.
