No, I never forget to change it because I ALWAYS work with the camera on 16:9.
The fact that the aspect ratio switch doesn't have a lock on it is a big pain during some of my unpredictable workload (There are locks on other important switches, such as the top-handle zoom switch, so why not the aspect ratio switch?). It has become so much a problem that I now tape it into a locked position. Occasionally I might bang the switch by mistake when I'm really in a rush to get the shot before it's gone and not notice that I've actually done it until partly through thre sequence or after the short sequence.
This is especially true when I'm concentraiting so hard on the framing during a short sequence and haven't noticed the format change within the small viewfinder (Yes I KNOW that it's easy to see the difference when you look for it, but sometimes my break-neck gun-n-run sequences make it easier to miss).
When I'm running around shooting different subjects both topside and subsurface is the main problem, as the switch can be accidently knocked when it is fitted inside the underwater protective housing, and then spotting the difference in the viewfinder during a few second sequence can be easy to miss.
During predictable slower-paced normal shooting on a tripod, where I've got more time to to do all the minor adjustments and continual spot-checks during filming sequences the problem doesn't arise.
