I heard about this and tried it once......didnt end up very well. Climbed up a chute into a nice bowl at the back of frisbee on the doo VIC ride in 2007. Had to sidehill a bit to get to the top of the bowl. Long story short, I couldnt come back down the way I came up, and only way back down was through the chute. Tried this to slow me down coming back down the bowl but didnt work. When I come to the edge of the cliff I was inevitably going off, I still had it in reverse. When I pinned it to keep the front end up to hopefully land it, it had the opposite effect and I nose dived hard. Probably fell 20-30 feet....missed a jagged pile of rocks by about 5 feet on one side and sled missed landing on my by a couple feet on the other side.
Alot of bad decisions made that day, but the reverse thing didnt help.
