Yeah I can do it pretty easily on my Sea Doo PWC. Just have to find the right speed (not very fast) and yank the reverse. 2 years ago I bent the rod that goes from the handle to the reverse bucket, so I won't be doing that anymore.

I guess it's good to know it was intentional, but that sort of begs the question as to WHY anyone would ever want to do this? It looks awful to me.
