Because youtube player is totaly different.

A flv player is not really a device; it's a computer program.

It is built with a programming language called action script.

The programmer can make a bad player that kills your site/browser.

The programmer has control over the buffering/etc in the action script.
How the programmer chooses to do this can have an impact on the player working.

The player could be badly coded and cooking your CPU and so you can't leave
the page.
