Remember that although the slots have a pretty good grip, the only thing holding the breakers in is friction, and in that orientation gravity is working against you.

Also, ground clearance might be an issue depending on your setup. I'd hate to see you smash the PDB into the bump around the pyramids (or snag wiring on a frisbee you've run over).
