I didn't realize it actually played music when he pushed it in. I thought it was making A sound, like the scratching of a toasted coil.

An enclosure that's too big can cause woofer suspension failure also although over time and not sudden like the OP is describing.

So you've actually seen woofer failure where the coil actually falls out of the gap so far to where it won't play? What did the surround look like on these woofers? The surround alone should pull/push it back into the gap. What kinda woofers were they? I'm not trying to start an argument, it just doesn't seem very likely.

OP, what kinda enclosure do you have? Can you easily push the woofer in till it bottoms out? Is you woofer facing up or to the rear/front of the car?
