However, I do tighten my QR quite a bit with two thumbs and then I prevent the QR skewers from opening on its own by zip-tying the ends to the dropout.
I had the problem frequently on my last Giant road bike that had QR and disc brakes. Not to the point where my wheel ever fell out, but constantly had to loosen the skewer and re-adust because the wheel would go out of alignment every now and then so the brakes would start rubbing. One of the many reasons I sold and moved to a road bike with thru axles.
As we go into the future all of the good bikes will be sold with thru axle. QR will be reserved for department store bikes and entry level bikes.
