If it fails, it can permanently ruin the BIOS, resulting in your computer becoming a door stop. Common reasons for BIOS flashes gone bad are power failure during the flashing process, and flashing the BIOS with an incorrect BIOS version.
This is the part you want to read carefully. 
Because of these dangers you do not flash a BIOS just for ****s and giggles, but only if there is a very good reason.
