I just can't believe it even came loose and fell off...

Believe it, there are many parts on a bike capable of loosening over time due to vibration and weak tightening. It's a good idea to regularly check your bike for loose parts, especially before a decent ride! All goes hand in hand with keeping your bike well maintained and regularly serviced.

Crashe, thankfully these 'issues' you are having with your bike aren't too serious and are relatively cheap to fix.

as long as the engine dont fall out......

poxy old F1 Ducati on one of the 1000 mile runs tried to do that when the engine mount bolts vibrated loose and fell out,they towed it the last 160km or so to the finish

Handlebars fell off my Tbird once , when I was riding it. Going along the Waipu straights, I thought the handling was a bit odd, but then Triumph handling always was odd.

I forgot about that... I was once found looking very surprised, standing in a river when my handle bars on my XT decided to change in to racing mode. The same happened again landing from my second ever jump, but that time I was ready and coolly pulled up the bars and continued... I use a bit more force on those nuts now
