> With this explanation it seems that if one wheel gets slightly stuck, the other wheel gets all the force, causing a dangerous spinning.
This is how a (open) differential behaves, though a spinning wheel isn't so much dangerous as ineffective. This limitation can be overcome using a locking differential or a limited-slip differential, or a traction-control system that selectively applies brakes to a spinning wheel to simulate a limited-slip differential.
