We used those a lot in the sheetmetal shop and none of us like them. The tabs would break all the time and fly off. Then we got the ones with where they are screwed in and those I really really like. I would love to use those now but with better or thicker pads. I am pretty sure they are called Roll lock.
Guessing you were pressing. Twenty plus years without one flying off for me. The flex shaft support on the rest makes supporting the tool against the work, thus contributing to friction and grab, unnecessary. OTOH, when I was starting out, I flung several PSA and melted a bit of Velcro as well. Not sure anyone still uses PSA types any more, which is no real loss. Don't miss them or my finicky Masterchuck one bit!
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.
