My DA sander blew up on a Corolla quarter panel yesterday

Was smoothing out some filler on a 2019 Corolla at the shop around 3 PM and the backing pad just spun right off. The whole assembly came apart and scratched the hell out of the paint. I had to stop and switch to a file board to finish the shape. Has anyone else had a DA sander fail like that mid-job?

That's a brutal way to ruin a panel.

Is it really that big of a deal though @max_cooper21?

Best thing that could've happened to that panel honestly.
