It's running the engine at a low engine speed, relative to the road speed, which subjects the engine internals to undue loads and stress. Most likely victim IMHO is the crankshaft, especially the big-end bearings, but the pistons will get rattled around in the cylinders and damage of various sorts could afflict all the major components.
