I've had a few sketchy moments. I'm mostly carrying decorating stuff & paint, never had "valuable" cargo tho!
First time I went over was just taking a corner too fast in the wet
Second time, also on a corner. The ladder I had on top of the cargo box must have shifted a bit & stopped me from turning handlebars (won't make that mistake again)
Scariest moment was the bike sliding out from under me as I took a busy roundabout slowly. There was a thin mud slurry from a building site nearby that was like ice. -
Lost the front wheel on the Bullitt this afternoon bringing daughter home.
Number one cause of crashes on the cargo bike I would guess. Particularly given the change of grip levels depending on what load you're carrying. Front wheel is really easy to skid out with powerful brakes and no load on the front.

I had a similar accident a few years ago and dropped a Bullitt on the side of my knee. Cue the worst pain I've ever experienced, a trip to A&E and nearly 4 months off work! I wouldn't recommend it.

Lost the front wheel on the Bullitt this afternoon bringing daughter home. Leaf skog on a cul de sac that had been flooded, and grabbed the front brake when a small boy cut across on his bike.
Managed to avoid falling but was very close. Was my first dodgy moment. Will use more back brake in future!
