Anyone ever had an oil line come off with engine running?

My Aeoroquip socketless hose came off while I was idling at a light. I went thru the light and shut off the engine.
Needless to say, I lost all of the oil.
If this had ever happened to you, did your engine bearings failed later?

Not to me, but to a local friend:

However, his was the stock lines... Never heard of that happening with AN fittings.

Hate to hear about your luck.
After I got it towed home, I poured oil into the engine, started it up to pull into the garage. It seems fine.
I have seen mechanics run a car without oil for a few minutes by accident and nothing seemed to happened.

Well, stupid me, I used a clamp on the socketless hose. I just found out that you're not supposed to do that as it rips the internal clamping liner when the clamp compresses radially onto the barb.
On the fitting, I can see a piece of the inner liner still on the barb.
