Me too.... but I'm a worry wart, and it happened, I had it cranked down tight, like really tight...but guessing with the 'rattle-n-roll' of the chain? It backed its way out and off without me noticing....can't say it's something I often looked at, if at all..

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
