Not quite the way I heard it. A trainer was doing an OPC. He failed the engine, and expecting a continued takeoff he raised the gear. The candidate, with plenty of tarmac ahead decided to reject and they skidded down the runway on the belly.
Could happen to any of us, (except Bell drivers) it only takes a moment of inattention.
