Actually it would. Unless you've got the required picks and have the experience / dexterity you can wind up trashing the seal.

On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
