jumping the chocks!

I've seen a Handley Page Hastings jump the chocks and have done it myself in a Provost... golden rule off engine runs..Brakes 'on' and adequate brake pressure available ! Carried out engine runs at max power on many other big jet types ..
power equalised across the aircraft and feet on brakes ..usually never causes problems!!
Hope these guys are ok!!!
