The risk
The cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery is too long and may become trapped between the seat and the seat-holder. This can cause the cable insulation to tear, giving rise to a short circuit. In the worst case scenario, this short circuit can cause sparks to be generated and thus poses a fire risk.
