Pretty much, yes
It only needs you to do something silly like grabbing the front brake when turning at slow speed and it'll be on the deck. If you drop a bike that's a bit shit (like mine
) then it doesn't really matter. If you drop a £4k sports bike you've done hundreds of £ worth of damage.
I nearly dropped mine once putting it onto the centre stand. My foot slipped off (it was wet) and as I was heaving the bike upwards I ended up pushing it over... just about grabbed it before the whole line of bikes that it was parked in went down like dominos
