It is certainly true that any failure during the firmware load will leave you with an unusable system, but it is also not really a disaster. The bootloader itself is never modified during a firmware upgrade, so it will still be there. You would need to find a useable SD and redo the install, but since the bootloader remains untouched it will still be available. Also, the bootloader itself will do an initial check to verify that it can read the entire V3UPDATE.BIN before it even will begin the firmware update. If the bootloader finds that the V3UPDATE.BIN file to be unusable the update stops before it even begins.
