I certainly recall an article a while ago of the large press party accompanying the USA President, not in AF1 but in a following chartered airliner, who said that quite a number of the journalists liked to smirkingly stand up during takeoff, because "it's our charter, so we don't have to do seatbelt rules and things. Yaa Boo !".
I remember, when I was very young, that a teenage boy was showing off, by standing up in the Bobs roller-coaster at Belle Vue (the largest roller-coaster in Europe, at the time), as it made its circuit. He died after being thrown from the car.
