Generally no. In most cases, failing to appear for court while out on bail does not lead to additional charges, it simply revokes the bond and leads to a bench warrant.

Additional: . . . not to mention one highly agitated bailbondsman chasing you down.

You can't, it is forfeited to the court - that's what bail is all about. The mone is put up to guarantee the defendants appearance. If he doesn't appear,..... bye-bye bond money. Unless you've already experienced this betrayal by the person you posted for, it is always best to engage the services of a bail bondsman.
