I understand you think it to be unsafe, and therefore I suggest you don't use this tip. I am comfortable using it and will continue to use it under the appropriate conditions despite your objection to the tip.
I only think that this method requires some very good understanding of how your cars components work - and I'd consider it an expert tip to be used with caution under specific conditions only -

Other than that, I am an avid coaster myself, occasionally with engine turned off where appropriate.
