Supersaturated solutions are unstable because they are holding more solute than is normally possible. All it takes is for a tiny bit to be added and it begins to crystallize.
If you think of a normal salt/water solution. You can get just so much salt to dissolve in water at a given temperature. If you add more salt then it just will go to the bottom of the solution.
