I have seen it done, and done it... I know think it is stupid and irresponsible and I wouldnt even free handle a BTS if you paid me to do it..... In my limited experience I have found most elapids to be un predictable compared to most pythons, though Wild Darwin carpets can be a bloody big handfull at times.
Just because it probably wont kill doesn't mean it wont. ANything with venom IMO should be treated with respect. I wont mention names but I know of a few people that often free handle coastal taipans and spotted blacks.
