I have had it hit the print if there is curling and such on edges. And, I have found that having the springs not too tight will let it give a bit if it hits a blob or something. That usually happens when the priming tower fails and it drags some plastic onto an area and creates a not so even surface.
But I have never had the print get hit so strong though, that it could move the plate. The clips may be a bit loose.
If the plate clips are loose, try to push them down, with the plate not in place, a bit to grip the plate better.
Also, how did you level? Manual? Active? I usually have to do a manual every now and then to bring it back into alignment after changing buildplates many times, or if I banged the plate with me clumsy fingers and bounced the plate down on the springs, but I always run an active after that.
Yup, maybe that's the issue. I've always used active leveling. Now, I'll calibrate Z axis once again, and do the manual leveling for the first time. Maybe the springs and the screws was the problem. Thank you for the reply!

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
