Go slowly since you don't have an ice axe to self-arrest. Dig your heels into the snow hard.
This is extremely bad advice! If you don't have an ice axe for a brake (and learn how to use it that way), you are at nature's mercy. If that snow is the least bit solid, there is NO WAY a person can dig their heels in to slow their descent. (Been there, done that!)
People who do this successfully succeed because the temperature was warm enough that the snow was slushy. At some unknown temperature, it hardens, and you're toast.
As for the uber-warnings: We all get tired of them. A few are good, but the incessant drum-beat will get you blocked.
