I'll check it tomorrow but I doubt it has any effect. This is a pretty rigid machine even though you can see it flex a bit in the slow motion video. I think the fail-safe in this case is that the carbide bit snapped.

Today will be the very first time I have installed a bit in my router, but I know the feeling already. We/I used to run several big Amada turrets that were full of different tools in the turrett. If a tool was set up keyed wrong it would immediately "CRASH" when that tool hit. Some of the special tooling we ran cost upwards of $10,000, they costly, and we figured out a check system to be done on every set up, to go back and visually look to set if the tools were correctly keyed were they did not crash. and we ran out of parts sending people home on the assembly line until another tool as made ands sent in.
Carbide is like special hardened metal to stay sharper longer, at least in theory, it also makes it easy to 'SNAP'.. I look at it maybe a little differently, $40 snapped bit, is far less costly than destroying the equipment that moves it to make it do what it does,
You all have a Blessed weekend,
