Assuming the probability that you drop connection is evenly distributed amongst all characters, even if there is no payload and this is all that is executed then there's barely a 1% chance of the truncation happening in the way you describe.
Considering that there is usually a sizable payload and the probability of a dropped connection is not evenly distributed and is probably very low, the scenario gets even less likely.
Yes, it's possible, but it's also possible to rm -rf / because you typed a path wrong and I bet the probability of human error is much higher than the probability of this shell trick screwing you over. People have rm -rf /'d their systems, but even this isn't a good reason to advocate for say, removing rm entirely or not allowing people to type into the shell :P
