I've seen it happen quite a few times on drags unloading equipment. There should be jump chains to prevent the bag from over extending. If they are the proper length and still attached it's not so bad. A loaded bag with 60+ psi that gets unloaded quickly will extend farther than it was designed. They can and will rip apart. Do what you want, but I dump the air every time.

This^^^^^^^^ is the correct information. Chains to prevent hyperextension are key to minimizing issues, IMO.
ETA.
Apparently lots of fellows get along fine, but the shocks are likely limiting suspension travel. (If no chains) Which isn't the greatest thing for shocks.
