From a roleplaying point of view it is utterly ridiculous.

Well if it works it does sound like the fastest way to travel between
continents. No more waiting for the boat:-)
How would someone go about doing this to themselves? I would guess that the
only way we could kill ourselves without causing EXP loss would be with DDD,
CofD, or bellow. I have never tried targetting myself with these so have no
idea if they damage you or not. I thought I read somewhere that if you die
from a DOT cast my a player while dueling you will still take an EXP loss.
This could apply here also so you would only want to use it to get yourself
very low and then bellow from there.
Also, if this method does work, it only goes to show you that players will
always figure out a way to do something that the game designer never
contemplated. While it would definately be an exploit, I would term it an
ingenious exploit and not a stupid one:-).
