It would most likely kill you.

An analogy of how much snow that thing can really throw - at full speed in heavy snow, it throws the equivalent of a large passenger car every 5 seconds.

Heh... I was just reading Oshkosh's site... apparently it can throw more than what I thought - 5000 tons/hour, or about 2800 lbs per second.
