Don't know if I can explain the physics but my dad always warned me of what could happen when I first started driving a tractor over 40 years ago. He called it the tractor walking over on itself.

If you don't get the clutch in fast you end up with the tractor on you and it happens so fast not much chance you will get the clutch in intime. I have been lucky and never have been in that postion yet.
