No its not a good thing to do, especially if your car has the vicious coupling diff.
All 4 wheels are driven, if you force 2 wheels to drive the other 2 will try to drive also, this (by the looks of what they did) will put harsh strain on your diffs.
Brake tests on a 4x4 should be done on the road if a 4wd rolling road is not available.
