If you mean stupid and irresponsible, why? A barrel roll is a 1g manoeuvre, and all airliners can perform 1g manoeuvres - in fact, you experience more in approaches and landings.
Poor decision maybe, but perfectly safe. Definitely not routine. (BTW, it was a Dash-80 - the 707 prototype, but that is pedantic
