brake booster hose

Check this out! I was doing doughnuts around a cone and all of a sudden the car stalls i start it up and it dies again.
I pressed the brake pedal and notice it was stiff (scared the **** out of me, thought i might have blew something ) , i start the car and notice a pretty loud "wooshing" kind of sound, so i knew it was vaccume related. I poped the hood and notice that the brake booster hose blew off somehow . Right above the valve cover is a little backet of somesort that connects the hose together. I used a screw type clamp instead of the regular clamp that was on it, seemed like it was too weak. So i just replaced it with a screw type clamp, and tighten that ***** so it wont pop off again

so i suggest you guys check up on that.
Has this ever happened to anyone? if so what did you use to make sure it wont pop off again.
Peace!!

lol... The only thing i can think of is if the pressure had a sudden surge, which would be something like a backfire through the manifold.
