Why don't magnets get ripped off during MRIs?

From medical professionals I’ve heard from in the US, they won’t do an MRI on an unconscious patient without a patient history since they don’t know if you have medical implants.
Found this for how to deal with unresponsive patients who need an MRI. It goes over visual inspection for scars indicative of surgery, and using CT scans to rule out metal objects before the patient receives an MRI.
