It's not the bicyle falling apart, it's the rider falling down (with the risk of getting hurt) - and yes, exactly this happens in real life when you disobey basic caution. The same will happen for other stupid settings, too - like setting a bootdelay of 0 with a non-working bootcmd; or incorrect update commands that blow away U-Boot, or ... This is a boot loader, and there are no seatbelts or airbags; nothing prevents you to shoot yourself into the foot.
