Yes, it is indeed a big deal when you walk down a cliff, like in Kings Quest 3, and you have to save the game every two steps, because you would otherwise fall over the cliff and die at least 10 times on your way down. There are plenty of examples like this, where you do something you are supposed to do, but do it a little bit wrong, and you are back to your last save. It is simply annoying, and adds nothing to the game other that frustrations.
Also in many cases, you don't know that you are about to do something dangerous. Eating something, that looks like it is supposed to be eaten, but proves to be fatal, is not something you anticipate, and it only leads to you saving the game every time you are about to eat something, even if the other 68 eatable items in the game are totally harmless. It is a waste of time, and takes away the pleasure of playing a game.
