Yes. Only happens when the pressure is on (i.e. no time to stop) and then usually only a protected rider, coz a couple of his unlucky teammates are going to have to push him. Anyone else who has to go will have to chase.
You won't see many photos or film of it, coz there is a code between the riders and the media that it won't be filmed to embarrass them.
