You may lose one at any time .. anywhere. So not specifically just off roading!
Brother lost one not long after he bought his D2(Jan '17), and had been hunting a non expensive replacement. Finally got one in early June.
LRA has them at a reasonable price.
I think the trick is to be sure it's securely attached.
Brother fitted the replacement, so I didn't get to feel how it clicked in, but heard the click.
We then tried to force it off by hand, and it wouldn't budge. Seems like it needs a pry bar of some kind(eg. screw driver) to remove it.
If it feels a little loose in any way, I dare say it'll get lost.
