Which engine is yours? Is your clutch engaging fully (cable tight enough). How about oil? What brand/kind and when did you change it last?
Just trying to get a baseline...

172FMM-3A engine. Oil is Rotella T4 1.2 quarts changed religiously. Clutch is adjusted correctly. It has happened to me a few times. Most recently it happened a couple of ways. After loosing traction due to steep incline and slipping the clutch to back down. Also did the same thing after stalling on an incline tried to walk it backwards and
caused a loud pop then started rolling. I can duplicate the not rolling backwards but the pop happens when it's been in a stressful spot to keep it upright.
