Performance,smoother draw with less stack due to the change of string angle. :) :) :) That is the main reason I do it,especially on shorter bows. :)
Never seen it hurt one,unless of course you break it while trying to flip them. ;) ;) ??? I have had that happen and that kind of stinks. :)

Some great input here, Well said Pappy about the advantages of flipping. I tend to do more as Pat dose and will rough in to floor tiller  then heat treat the hole limb to about 2inches of overall reflex then flip the tips.  I shoot mostly shorter bows and it dose help with string angle and draw.

I always flip tips after the bow is done. It is a neat trick to take away a bit of set and add some additional string tension/bit of draw weight. 
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."
