Teleconverter 1.4 detached and camera goes to ground

Hi,

Today I was using the 1.4x Teleconverter with XT4 and 100-400, with tripod, and the tripod attached to the lens.

Suddenly, the Teleconverter has been deatached and the camera has fallen to the ground with Teleconverter attached, but the lens on the tripod. Also, the Teleconverter has been scratched.

This was a faulty unit? It's a design problem? I'm an idiot and the Teleconverter has some magic device that I didn't lock or something like that?

Thanks!
