Try a security skewer set
Or if you can wait a bit longer
...but it might just be a crummy QR skewer. I can see what I have in the parts bin if you like?

These seem to be the schnizzer in that world. Cool idea, can't be opened while the bike is upright and once you flip it upside down then gravity does its thing to allow it to release.
Nice just for the geekery of this idea.

I’m concerned that your current skewer is slipping. Never had it happen. As @Plankosaurus says, might just be your current skewer. Or your dropouts.

I’ll change skewer and see if it’s fixed, but I’ve also had the seat come loose from vibrations. This is on th norco, so stiff hardtail frame and stiff rear wheel.

Mates used to race full blown DH races back in the day with QR on hard tails without shit coming loose.
QR or bolt up seat clamp?
Not all QR’s are equal. I found old XT’s to be as good as any.

Word.
The ones with a plastic seat for the cam can compress or spread out, which will mean you won't get the tension you need. Metal ones can get sticky and prevent you from tightening them when there's enough tension on the skewer.
Could try adding a little grease into the cam and see if you can tighten it down better?

I've had it happen once a long time ago, while using a hope skewer. At the time I was all "fuck you bike!" but I am sure that the reality was part user error and part bike. I found that if I checked the qr mechanism every now and then while doing shuttles, dirt jump laps, or in between push laps etc that it never gave me a problem again.
Have you checked the drop outs to make sure they aren't deformed?

Something in the rear hub may be coming loose or bending, I had the same issue happen a long time ago until the hub internals snapped in half.

It are is! Fuck those wheel look good. I'd never trust them under me off a gutter. A very small number ladies (including my mum...) have enjoyed doing them to the cafe though.

Good result. I have no love for shimano wheels, but they made a good QR skewer.

I think Hope were the worst of the expensive ones, it pains me to say.
