The blade can potentially snap with some lateral motion.
Might consider in a controlled environment (back at camp, heated enclosure, caping, etc.) but in the field, under conditions that might incur a potential need for first aide for the user?
No way.
Cool. I've used it in the field so many times so many years now and never snapped a blade in the guts... but if you choose to not, tahts cool.
Folks do need to know their limitations.
Lateral has beeen know before it ever came out for those dealing with scalpels. so you simply don't do the lateral moves or if need to you be careful.
