I used to do it as a kid, but I don't know how much pressure i was actually putting into it, i was like 12 and didn't know anything about bikes beyond what a normal 12 year old would know.
Though my friend who doesn't own a bike pump just keeps a presta adapter in his bag and fills up at BP when he needs air.
