I have had success with three hard drive recoveries with drives with sticktion issues(head stuck to platter), in fact, three in a row. While plugged in I gave them a couple of wrist flicks to get the head to unstick. After doing this I have had no or very minimal surface damage. So I was able to get perfect recoveries.
I am not so certain this is irresponsible behavior. You could make a case, this is a better solution than disassembling it in a clean room, then trying to manually move the head with special tools. My thought is the less invasive the better. I would be happy to be corrected by hard drive recovery professionals if you think this is reckless.
