Static pops to the K3 can do things like induce a change to an unfortunate
bit or two in active memory, which later comes up as something that can't
be fixed without rebooting the K3.
It's a computer with some RF stuff hung off of it. Same things that make
you need to do a CTL-ALT-DEL on your PC can screw with your K3 as well.
I wouldn't recommend deliberately subjecting your K3 to shocks as a test,
though. That's really tempting Murphy.
