Perhaps, but we used to have a set of wheels above the door to the pilot's lounge here that were worn through the treads when an unnamed pilot taxied to the fuel pad with the brakes locked. The wheels never even tried to turn, while the pilot was wondering why it took so much power to taxi. I think I'd try to have the brakes locked before I hit the ground, in the above scenario. Fortunately I've never had to try it for real.
