Might sound silly but if I'm leaving it run a little like that (supervised of course), when I'm applying chain lube for instance will it cause any damage? I normally apply a small amount of revs and it's gone anyway.
That's not the way to apply lube.
It should be done by moving the wheel by hand so that the spray can get into the links properly either side.(when the chain is warm after a run out)
Doing it with the wheel moving (and chain jumping about) is not only bloody dangerous, but as you say it just flings it straight off, so it's just a waste of lube anyway.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
