This is true, it can also fracture the motor mounts and not be noticed, until you are performing a difficult and aggressive cut and the motor mount breaks with a spinning motor attached and your board shoots across the room or into your face.

Your board shooting into your face has always been a concern with saws. Hence why you don't stand in the line of fire when making cuts.
