Welcome to Flyertalk, mannon89.
I've never managed to get a bump. Some of the flights I use tend to be fairly light, but other times I've been hampered by status!
VDB is the only situation where status can be a problem. A few airlines (e.g. CX) won't let a top-status member get bumped no matter what, and most others (e.g. virtually all European Skyteam airlines) have algorithms in the system to put you right at the back of any VDB queue, so your only hope would be that nobody else volunteers.
