Never have seen a tank fail on a dive...partially opened (or closed!) valves, yes...sucking a tank dry, yes...out of air even with a pony bottle, yes...unfilled pony bottle, yes...not watching guages, yes...panic, yes...too much drag, you betcha...
Streamlining is key - improve your air consumption and be self-reliant, especially when buddy diving.
