Don't know about resources to 'prevent' but there are tons of 'melt down' stories.
Pulling the implant is one problems, but worse is torque. That can wrench an attached implant right off its tether. You can't shield with any ferromagnetic material, else that material becomes deadly. So how do you shield from DC? Design carefully, very carefully.
