Bigger caps can do this just as easily. Line up with a roid directly above your nose. EK. Tilt up. Repeated bumps into the roid will accellerate you downward quite quickly, sometimes well beyond the 90m/s limit that a heavy cap has. Works with most streamlined heavy ships such as the Zephyr, Storta, Mako, Ranseur etc but not with the spiky kind such as the Kusari BS.
Easiest way to put a stop to this is to increase the damage from collisions with solar objects, or even add direct hull damage, like with ship-to-ship collisions. Percentage damage - snubs hitting roids are just as vulnerable, if not more so...

From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
