That can certainly happen. I've seen cattleya roots do some crazy things.

Looks happy without any special attention! When I have significant aerial roots, I just spray them with water when I am watering the plant. Remember, it's just one root, even if it were to die, it shouldn't be an issue as long as there are healthy roots in the pot.

That's a crazy root all right, but not unusual. I have a Pot with wild roots--mine are growing horizontally through the slits in the plastic pot though, makes it a little challenging to water, but like Sonya says, I daily mist the roots. My craziest roots are from my Phals!
