Yes. The rubber diaphragm fails, and you lose the nitrogen air cell, which acts as the spring. When it is gone, the suspension fluid fills the entire accumulator. You now have an incompressible fluid in the entire system. Hence, no more spring, and no more spring means... bouncy, bouncy.
Everything you ever wanted to know about the accumulators:
