What would happen if I drove without export brace for a short time?

Would damage occur if I drove my car nonaggresively without an export brace. Just to take around the block maybe 5 miles tops?

I'm not too sure about how much stress would occur if you had to unexpectantly throw out the anchor or try to avoid somebody or another car. Even with the export the shock towers always sag in somewhat.

no damage, I've done it several times, sometimes for a month. I never noticed any movement. That being said, its there for a reason.
