All my bikes use thru-axles which are noticeably safer and way more difficult to get loose. Anyway, I double check them everytime I remove a wheel, and when I check for hub play, if there was anything wrong with the axle I'd notice it.
I also do more thorough checks and maintenance if rain has caught me riding for a significant length of time. Rain is pretty bad on bike components.
