No, just giving fair warning. A lot of people assume that snake mining is completely safe and will never collapse on you. This isn't the case.

Cave-ins with successful snake mining are rare but I had them happen.

Basically if you want to keep it safe, just mine in a way that you mine 2 tiles then switch direction (left or right).
This is not a test of power
This is not a game to be lost or won

It's not a glitch. There's a post from one of the devs about it being quite intentional as a way to explore for minerals. On lower levels, it's almost necessary as running all the wood needed for supports would be a nightmare.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.
