Brake caliper fell off

Can ANYONE come up for a reason for a brake caliper to fall off? Pin bolts just gone, not broken off, Threads on carrier clean, no sign of breakage.

 

My position, mech did not tighten.Thoughts????

Yep, bolts not tight. I'll admit, I screwed myself with this once. Had a caliper bolt come out, broke the caliper and the stainless line. Never fun to replace parts you know you screwed up. However, you get the distinct pleasure of asking your mechanic to fess up.

If it isn't in there and it's not broken off, then yeah probably not tightened all the way or some other crazy reason.

Why did you let someone other than yourself do the work?

 

They sponsor my kart racing. So I need to throw some bucks to the shop. And the issue was with the rear parking brakes. Soooooo, I let them do it ( clean the brakes)
