Long as you follow the appropiate directions, you have a higher risk of a flood ruining your mpc :)

There is always a risk when updating flash memory. They usually give you warnings about not disconnecting the power or communications cables. Now if you have a power outage while you're updating, then you might have a problem. These things might lead to a corrupted install, but you could always try to reinstall it again. I know you can kill a CD-ROM drive while updating the firmware....and you can't try reinstalling that once it's been corrupted.
