to answer the question:never to me, but I've seen it.
It happened to a friend while we were playing. I was in the cart behind, as we pulled off the tee box. It was obvious that the latch/strap was "tired"...no bungee cord handy. What worked well enough to get him through the round was to double back, i.e. fold back, the strap so there were two thickness going through the latch/buckle.
I'm sure the "tired" pieces can be replaced. Not sure if he ever did that or just relies on the double -back technique now.
