If an aircraft gets ground resonance at full rpm one of the ways to stop it destroying itself is to lift off ...i presume the engineer would not be able to do that . Even if you shut down during it you are probably going to have done some damage. An engineer was killed ground running a 300 due to this as he had not secred his seatbelt and was thrown through the screen and into the blades .
