tow trucks often have rear axles come out while driving.... not pretty...
bearings are sturdy little bastards tho, and they usually give you a reasonable amount of time to fix it, but if the race itself comes apart, they can disintegrate quickly...
the faster you go, the faster they can break due to the higher forces and temperatures involved.
as Chuck said, just replace them.. for what? $40-50 per side (as a generalised guess) you can afford to change then every year and never have a bearing failure 
i always change mine at the first hint of noise (after having a datto bearing that almost came apart.. it had maybe 3-4mm sideways movement !!!)
