I think you mean the dec shaft.? But yes, the counterweight slipping off while it¡¯s being adjusted could hurt someone, and/or damage the ¡®scope when it slams against the mount about 1/2 second after the counterweight departs.?

Chip,
Anyone doing what is shown in the image is taking a risk.
The washer at the end of the R.A. shaft prevents the counterweight accidentally sliding off the shaft.
In the event it did, it could seriously injure someone.
