Don't worry about me, I've used it plenty of times before and never had any bag experiences. Woops, BAD experiences I should say, Freudian slip ha ha.
It only becomes a clogging hazard to the suction passages when you use too much on the carpet.
I only put a thin layer on (being a cheap skate helps me do this!) and vacuum it up with the motor on full speed.
As for the bag getting blocked up, yes, that may happen, but the bag is already 1/3 full anyway, so I'll probably just replace it when I've finished, something I've been meaning to do anyway.
