Hi Thomas,
There would not seem to be a reason for pressure to blow it off, however the manual does say that the clamp has to be positioned beyond the 'bead' of the fitting to which it mates and so it may be the case that whoever installed them didn't notice the need to apply the clamp on the other side of the bead.
