As long as you don't mess with the boot loader, you won't brick the device that easily. When you've broken the USB connection, you can extract a firmware update to the SD card manually, insert the card into the device and press the reset button. This will restore everything on the device, including the kernel. Of course there is always a risk that the flash wears out or a cosmic ray causes a glitch, so it's not for the faint of heart.
