i just got a cti2 knee brace. i havent taken it out on the water yet, but i was wondering if anyone who has that type of brace has had it fall off because of a wipe out

I've had the lower strap come completely off on a fall. A friend of mine has a strap attached to the brace that loops around his ankle to keep from losing it if all straps fail.

My son's bottom thing that hold's the strap broke
and lost the strap. But still stays on tight.

Each season start off with a new velcro kit from CTI and you will be fine. Sometimes on hard falls it loosens a bit but thats about all. CTI makes a "water sock" that goes over the brace to help hold all the velcro, but you really don't need it if you replace the velcro once a year.
I have had my cti2 since 1995 and send it in each year for rebuild and new velcro....about $125.
