i've done that a couple times on my civic by accident, but it's a manual.
my car was rolling foward about 2-3mph, and i tried to pop it to reverse and the gears just grind. can't imagine what it would be like at 70mph though :/

What's so scary about it? I will be thrilled to try something like that but not on my own car though =D come on man up guys don't let the
thoughts of doing it scare you!!! Let the action of actually doing it scare the **** out of you!
