Default Rig loading during MOB

The Quick Stop, one of the responses to crew overboard, turns through the wind and circles back to the overboard person without adjusting sail. I don't intend to start a thread on appropriate responses to a man overboard.

My question is if the response begins when going downwind, are the loads on the rig excessive (to the point of potentially causing the rig to fail, making an already bad situation that much worse) for each of the following three conditions:

1. Asymmetric cruising spinnaker flying off bowsprit with main prevented
2. Symmetric spinnaker flying off pole with main prevented
3. Twin headsails, windward jib poled out, no main

Specifically, in each of the three scenarios, if the helmsman does not touch any sail controls but just attempts to steer back to the MOB, are the loads on the rig likely to cause it to fail?
