Further to the above answers. I had a tow bar that wasn't attached properly disconnect during push back. We were rolling back towards the taxiway & the grass beyond (at about 2 kts) so I very gently dabbed the toe brakes.

There was a big lurch. The nosewheel oleo extended by what felt like about 3 feet & the steward in the forward toilet peed all over his shoes!
