Because they go bang and the MOSFETs explode:

Dude, this is the reason I asked about putting a fuse in an external supply using VBEs. I think it was you, yourself, who said you wouldn't use fuses because replacing a MOSFET was a trivial matter, costing little. You obviously failed to factor-in the price of new underpants

NIce, Carl.

I once proved the same thing can happen if you drive an LM317 hard enough in reverse. This can also ignite any associated tants...

Hey, I've heard that now at the airports they check if you have a VBE in your luggage...
