PT6 inflight shut down and restart.

Not sure if this has been answered but I've heard stories of guys shutting down a caravan engine to see how far it glides then restarting it again. Would that damage the engine in any way? Other than the obvious reason of what if it didn't start again and you only got one engine can anything like shock cooling occur? Would it effect engine life ? Thanks
