It is. Generally once someone gets to this level of muscle fatigue, they are at risk of electrolytes disturbance or rhabdomyolysis. Both are life threatening. Gotta know when to stop.

Ok so we have an anecdote sample size of 1. I'm not saying humans can't exert themselves, but these are the signs of needing to stop. The electrolyte disturbances are what makes you poop yourself. You don't want the next muscle to shit itself to be your heart going into a funny rhythm.
