And I agree with you entirely that it's not best practice, but then how often do you replace high-pressure fuel lines after loosening/removing them?
Yup, there is... But then when you consider at idle, the injectors will generally be open for around ~270uS, that's 0.00027 seconds every 720*CA = 0.141 Seconds @ 850rpm per injector - it's very unlucky to hit it, but if you do hit it, it's new ECU and injector times.
But saying that, I've seen damage done on both types of ECU from doing it, so it's not _THAT_ unlucky.
