Coulda heard about this on the news instead though..
Which hub was it? Was it the locknut thread that stripped or the reverse thread that's on the actual hub?
As Tommy says, if there's a gap between cog and locknut, you can smack the lockring off when stopping/skidding/etc.
I do it all up then do lots of hard standing starts to make sure the cog is tight then tighten the locknut any further.
