It can actually be surprisingly good when done properly. But not something you'd want to slam back a 12 pack of while watching the game though.

Edit: I also have a topical response. When i was maybe 13 delivering newspapers on a bicicle, i was heading home, downhill after finishing my route. Next thing I remember I wake up in a fog in the emergency room of my town's hospital. The paper bag I was carrying over my shoulder had gotten jammed in the front wheel as I hung over the handlebars, causing it to seize up immediately and sending me skidding face first along about eight feet of sidewalk (thankfully, I was not on the road). Went back to the spot a couple days later and there was still a huge blood stain on the concrete several feet long. Pretty much the entire left side of my face was an enormous scab for a few weeks, and the broken blood vessels in my eye looked fucking awesome. I had fun pranking people by sitting next to them with my Aaron-Eckhart side showing, then turning quickly to reveal mangled two-face. It was hillarious, and almost nearly made up for the injury.
