Yeah it's always a bit of a cringe moment when I see that myself, all it's gonna take is to hit a bump a bit too hard, the swingarm to do it's thing and that chain, the sprockets, and possibly your leg are toast, and even that's only if the bike doesn't buck you off like a horse.
There's a reason the user manual/manufacturer's guide gives you the correct range of motion to aim for - and it's not just "because we say so" T_T
