It has happened to me alot. Being son of a professional mechanic I got to see and fix alot of coolant related smokiness. On time a radiator hose blew, but was held together by the hood. Once we popped the hood the hose unwound, dousing us both in screaming hot antifreeze!

Another time I didn't get a heater hose clamp on well enough. The motor ran down the road until the thermostat opened and when it did it poored out onto the exhaust headers. I always used new clamps and hose after that Just in case...
