I would advise against that, and say that it's not "certain" that you
can do that for short periods.
If you happen to have a security hole in your system that iptables was
protecting you from, a few seconds without iptables may be enough to do
the damage. It's certainly worse to expose yourself for a long time,
but that doesn't mean that you're safe to do it for just a moment.
