Have to add that one to my pre-dive check list slate.
Think it should be part of a "buddy check"?
I'm all for doing the buddy check, yet
No, I'm not checking my buddies Nutz.....

It's more likely the nuts loosened and fell off than another failure like the bolt breaking off. Look into lock washer, nylock nuts, or checking every dive.
I don't use an sta so cambands go through plate so don't have same issue.

Do you have a pad covering your backplate? Maybe consider ditching the pad, so you can simple see if nuts are loose or missing?
And no, the bolts are extremely unlikely to break. Songle AL80 is so light weight compared to what the bolts can hold. Just imagine people put on double LP118 with the same diameter bolts.
