Depending on what Ng you get to, I have heard that if the tie down snaps the sudden acceleration can just about rip the transmission out, or roll the a/c over. I have seen a pic of a 206 (it was in Canada I think) where the whole tail rotor gear box had detached from the boom from it being started while tied down.
