Narrative:

Some operations gate at iah are at a slope that can cause potential danger to employee; aircraft and all equipment involved during pushback procedure. I encountered an issue where the aircraft dragged my pushback tug upon the pilot release of the brakes. The aircraft was fully loaded with fuel; passengers and cargo. This load makes it very dangerous for an aircraft tow tractor to control as the gate also has a downward slope. This issue has occurred on several occasions to many different employees.
