Will a record weight harm the motor in a direct drive turntable?


I've considered buying a record weight for my Denon DP-59L turntable, but I'm concerned that adding the weight would put added strain on the direct drive motor.  Does anyone have experience or advice with this?

Regarding the Technics SP10 MK3, I seem to recall hearing about a commercial which showed a man standing on the platter while it was spinning. Was I dreaming?
