yep it happened to me.
There was nothing left of the brake pads, and one fell out, causing the piston to over-extend resulting in loss of brake fluid = no brakes. tow truck ride home.
New brake pads all round & all fixed. Although since then I have adjusted wheel bearings. So not sure if that maybe contributed to me losing a brake pad as spike_sierra suggests...?

Yeah once in my old Sierra dropped out when I was reversing out of the car park one day, had to drive home in back streets going slow didnt know or think it was the brake pads though till when I got home and I went and looked around the car to work out my lack of brakes...
Then twice in my current Sierra one fell out of the rear in my current Sierra when I was dropping my mate home one day I knew what it was but we couldn't find it on the road any where. So I put it down to running the pads to low as the rear has no movement like the front does with worn or bad wheel bearings... This was a year or two back, then early this year on a muddy trip out another one fell out of the rear in some heavy mud action couldn't find it anywhere....

That has happened to me once, lost one whil i was braking to turn then pop ting ting argh crap! So i drove home creeping through backstreets, Lucky i was 1min from home! Then found out it was my pads!!!
I've seen it happen. It was quite exciting as it was on a super steep descent. Check the discs are within spec and the anti rattle plates are installed between the caliper and the pad. They're only thin but you do need them.
