Yep. Been there... done that. About 15 years ago, I had a reflector turn sideways on me and lodge itself against the fork when I hit a bump while moving at a fairly decent speed. The results for the bike and myself were not pretty. Ever since then, I have not ridden with any wheel reflectors on my bike.
