That looked like fun. I'd be more than a bit apprehensive at doing something like that but would give it a shot.... just as long as the pilot promised with a notarized document sealed with blood to not take-off.

Wouldn't a take-off be the whole point of the exercise!  We used to do something similar to this with fast-food trays and pick-up trucks in icy parking lots in years past.

What?  ???  Point of what exercise? I have been behind A/C while they are under taxi power and even that, can get you a bit nervous.... especially if they are in just starting to move from a stand still.

Do forgive my hyperbole...I was making reference to the joys of flying and extreme sports.  Obviously, a take-off in that situation would be ill-advised with thrust being only one of a multitude of concerns.

There is no need to apologize, I misunderstood your post. As for extreme sports, I'd say this is as extreme as it gets.
