Half shaft bolts backing out is not uncommon. I have had it happen many times in my race cars as well as my Hummer(H1). It is a maintenance item that should occasionally be checked. Drilling holes in the heads and then safe tying them with safety wire will prevent the backing out. Normally, you will hear the clunking early enough to stop and re-torque the bolts.
