Default Freewheel breakage

Today I encountered a bicyclist whose freewheel had simply let go.
It didn't drive at all, but neither did it make any obviously awful
noises. He'd already arranged for someone to pick him up, so thre
wasn't any point in exploring further, but I was very much surprised.

The freewheel on my bike is coming up on 40 years old, runs quietly
and seems to work fine....should I be worried about it? Never done
anything to it except oil it once in a blue moon.

Thanks for reading,

bob prohaska
