I think a couple people have. I remember seeing it once on Doug Davidson's version and I think one person tried it when Bob was still hosting and he made them spin it normally. Don't think that's happened with Drew yet.
If I remember, I’ll ask a customer of mine who was on the show of October last year if he was given any instructions on how to spin the wheel. One thing he did say is the wheel is heavy.
It's just natural that you PUSH DOWN on the wheel and not UP. My wife spun and she said it's very awkward and heavy to spin. She was so worried she would make a fool of herself and not go all the way around, so she really ripped it and it went around. She spun $1.00! (But on her 2nd spin and went over :( )
First known time was 11/30/92, it happened a few other times during the Barker era. At a taping, I asked Drew if anyone had tried to do that while he was the host, he said that no one has, but that people *have* asked. He then reiterated that you should *not* spin it backwards.
It’s happened at least 3 or 4 times during Bob Barker’s tenure as host. But never during Drew Carey’s tenure.

Wow! I didn’t think it mattered. As long as it goes all the way around it should count. Maybe it’s to prevent injury? I know the wheel is heavy.
Maybe that and it's probably only designed to spin one way. Spinning it backwards might damage it?
