That happened to me once in London traffic, not ideal!

Since then I always use a bit of blue loctite on the tapers, works well and have no trouble taking the crank arms off.

You'd have even less trouble if you used a spot of grease on the tapers, and if you do that and torque the crank bolt correctly they don't loosen.

You're right the issue was lack of torque, I have since bought a torque wrench.

The loctite is probably slight overkill but gives me peace of mind ;)
