Note:
If the part is clipped into the craft it will cause a violent reaction
That's why I had the small I-Beam gizmoed out from it.

Updated by This happened to me twice in the first days of 1.11 . I wanted to know what happened and now you showed me, thank you.
I made my own ship and tested it. It worked with an Ant, a Terrier, a cone, a small tank, but didn't work with a solar panel for some reason. Rapidly moving the ship doesn't destroy it, but some large Kraken forces happen when the ship collides with the engineer, either by sliding the ship into him or if you do the test while he is on the stairs. The highest forces I got accelerated Bill to 250m/s relative velocity.

Updated by Me too. While the engineer was standing on the craft, I placed an Octo2 on a cubic octagonal strut and my whole craft was thrown and destroyed.

Huge explosions happened again on a station in Mun orbit with the engineer on a ladder. Placing a part has about a 5% chance of destroying the entire station. Happened (1) while attaching a OX-4L 1x6 panel to a Jumbo-64 fuel tank. (2) attaching an Ant engine to a cubic octagonal strut.
NOTE: for case (2) the Esc key stopped working. I couldn't access the pause menu. I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill KSP. This is bad.
