Meridian flip?

I was looking at some ads for celestron mounts that made a point of saying that this mount doesn't do a meridian flip! I have a rough idea of what is involved in a MFlip but not sure which mounts if any perform this maneuver . Can anyone enlighten me as I often leave my NEQ6 tracking and go away for a long period and sometimes feel uneasy with the concept of a meridian flip in the back of my mind. What's the truth , am I likely to return to an imaging session to find the scope tied up in cables that are popping out of sockets and the mount making unpleasant sounds?
