Back in the late 50's i was a ten year old kid helping with the haying. My job was to pull wagons from the field using an Oliver 66 to the barn where the big kids would unload it. We were using an old engine valve for the hitch pin. So i was tooling along in 6'th gear, wide open, and crested a small hill on the road. I thought it be fun to toggle the engine off and quickly back on (the 66 would sometimes backfire!). Seemed like a fun idea!

Fortunately the wagon then veered off to the side ditch and even only spilled a few bales. Of course I didn't admit that I was goofing off like any red_blooded 10 year old kid would! But then I never did anything like that again (and i don't recall using valves for hitch pins either!)
