I was reminded a few weeks ago about how important it is to truly do a full pre-dive inspection of all your equipment. I don't believe this would have turned out badly as I believe myself and the divers I was with would have handled this effectively, but worth sharing as nothing like this has ever happened to me. Long story short, on a deeper, non-deco wreck dive, I returned to the boat, got up the ladder, and after sitting down went to stow my long hose only to realize the 2nd stage had dropped off the hose while I was sitting down. The reg had been serviced a few months prior. So now I have added checking the tightness of every single connection on my gear. Including dump valves, etc. All of them. Never assume.
