You would have to be sure of where you were going - it wouldn't be easy to reverse it back out..

 

I vaguely remember them abandoning one in Alaska and some chap then bought it with the idea of getting it going again.

 

Edit:- Right, it was bought by a chap called Steve McPeak, a 'daredevil' along the lines of Evel Kneivel, his main trick was riding a 100 foot high unicycle - but it doesn't look like he got very far with repairing it...
