I think the main issue you'll have is the frustration of getting a new bolt. The only possibility of danger I can imagine would be the bolt getting in the drive belt, but there is no direct path.
I've observed that when things fall into the dark spaces, they seem to go to an alternate universe never to be seen again.

Bolts and other bits that disappear into the Spyder chassis somewhere magically reappear on the street, at the end of my driveway. I think it is one the other end of the black hole portal. If you want to take a drive to Canada and try it out for yourself, You're invited for a visit.
thanks, I suspected it would not really be able to go anywhere, but thought I would ask. Luckily I had a bolt in the cabinet that was pretty close to the same length and threaded the same so I could use the captured nut.
The old "bolt falls into the black hole" routine. Pretty much all have been there and done that. I don't think you have to worry about it. Next time, you will probably use something to cover the holes before doing it again. Lesson learned.

Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?
Seat bolt fell into rear body hole, wondering if it can get anywhere and cause damage?
BTDT...here's what I bought as replacement and work fine
I'd send you one of mine, but for less than $8, you can order a supply
I temporarily inserted a nail and taped up the end till the bolt came in...probably a good idea to find something long enough and slightly smaller for the time being.
btw, someone could make a fortune selling a "black hole block kit"...heck, throw in a "reversed rear tire valve stem" and free shipping and they could retire on the proceeds
let's ride safe & be careful out there,

Remove the rear fender and you'll probably find it sitting on top of the rear wheel cover above the tire.
