That’s an understated way of saying you might run out of power and have an acccident.
How many R44 pilots do performance planning when taking that extra weight? Or do any, ever?
A former instructor colleague didn’t even understand how to read the max MAP table, always setting the field elevation on the altimeter. So who taught him? And how many other people had he failed to teach performance planning in light pistons properly?
