Not an expert, but I've seen a fair number of videos of planes crashing on runways. I can't imagine that doing anything that destabilizes the plane would be a good idea. At those speeds, with a fragile plane filled with fuel, anything that could result in a wing, for example, hitting the tarmac seems like an awful idea.
