I'm an automotive technician and I've seen that more times than I'd like to count. The customer always says the same thing. "I didn't hear anything" or "My brakes are making a little noise".

I have seen them worn mighty thin but I have never seen one totally worn off like that.
Lucky they don't lock up a front wheel at 70mph or so. That could be interesting.
When they wear that far down the piston usually gets cocked in the caliper (the piston can no longer get "pushed" by the brake fluid) preventing any wheel lock up. I've also seen some instances where one pad is completely missing and the piston is rubbing on the rotor.
It's all about preventative maintainence.
i once saw someone that claimed their car wont slowing down well, turns out the disk brake corroded itself in the middle and the disk itself was just loose in the space between the wheel hub and the axle
