Crashing a Chrono?

[Easy E]

A few days ago I was playing with a VC chrono and hit the reset button and the chrono indicators did not fully reset. I freaked because the moment I saw that the hands didn’t return I realized I had not stopped the chrono running first. I restarted, stopped and reset all was ok. That got me thinking, that was not the first time (on any given watch) that I had done that. Having read many times that such behavior would crash the movement I realized I have never experienced such – not that I am looking to do so intentionally, not that I do it often either. So, I am wondering how common is a chrono crash? Have any of you put your chrono in the wall?

There may be a stop in place on the reset while the chrono is running to protect the movement.

I think this is the answer

Seems reasonable. Is that the case on most modern Chronos? I’m certain I’ve even heard Tim Mosso make the claim that trying to rest a running Chrono will crash urge movement. Is that so?
