I tried to get that to happen a few years ago. Couldn't even damage it. Even with a two person load. Ended up putting the biner in the vice and putting a cheater bar on the rack just to get the sleeve to crack. I would say this is a myth.
Now, if you leave the biner unlocked, then, you're in trouble.
