Yes, a properly installed residential ceiling fan falling from the ceiling is an extremely rare occurrence, provided it was mounted correctly to a heavy-duty metal electrical junction box rated explicitly for ceiling fan support (secured directly to wooden ceiling framing or a heavy-duty brace bar). Ceiling fans only fall when DIY installers mistakenly mount them to standard plastic light fixture boxes that lack structural metal framing, or when mounting bolts and safety cables are left loose. You can troubleshoot mounting security easily by inspecting the upper canopy. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when checking that the heavy-duty mounting bracket is bolted securely into ceiling joists ensures absolute structural stability and prevents any risk of falling.
