I tried it without particular care one time on a failing device and experienced an instant system reboot (was it caused by the faulty disk or by a limitation in the implementation of the system (FreeBSD 5.x at that time), I can't be sure). Since then, I have never tried to force the unmounting of any device in favor of rebooting the system. In fact, crawling the PR database already reports problems about forcing unmounting of devices [kern/77026, kern/102250, usb/46176, ...]. So I prefer to be sure that everything is safe (not mounted read/write) before trying anything that can lead to data loss.
