Previous posts suggest that it's doable provided that you grab it firmly enough. Same principle as grabbing a spinning bicycle wheel - do it half-heartedly and your skin will suffer. Bear in mind that you're not actually trying to overcome the trim motor, as that won't attempt to drive the stab if resistance is detected at the cable drum.
To Grab (or "Grasp") implies encircling something. The edge of the wheel is less than a quarter inch thick. You can grasp it, but if your thumb gets a tiny bit under that edge, when the handle housing comes around (1/2 a second or so), you're going to really wish you hadn't. More like grabbing the tire and getting your thumb down between the spokes. Except with less give.
