Idle pulley flew off while driving

I was driving around and my idle pulley for the alternator , powersteering belt flew off.

So what would cause this, nut was torqued down.

What one, there are 2 on that belt. The lower one on the tensioner or upper useless one that you can just delete.

Either something wasn't as tight as you thought, or something broke.

Threads look fine and pulley is in tact bearings move freely. I ordered the missing parts and I'll really tighten it down this time and see what happens
