Are you serious??? I hope you're kidding. Is that not the "invulnerability" attitude we warn private pilots about? If the manufacturer of the aircraft says it's not to be done, I don't know how much more clearly DON'T DO IT! can be said.
Sure you MAY get away with it once, or even a few times, but if an accident happens the pilot will have no one to blame but themselves.
