Running takeoffs are pretty common where I've flown, both wheels and skids, when heavily loaded or in reduced RVR. Never had to in the 139 or 407, all that power I guess. Watch any fire-fighting machine slide and skip its way through translation when heading out for the season - stuffed with nets, bucket, long lines, engineer, tools, and a jag of fuel to minimize fuel stops to contract location.
