I'll check them all before I install them.

What would cause a diode to fail in a full wave bridge?

if you have no load or a small load on the other side of the full wave bridge, then the voltage drop across it is less than if it were loaded, current as well, therefor, when NOT loaded, there is greater potential for failure of the bridge.

Otherwise, there is a path available for it to travel through, and there's less likelihood of the diode failing.  ( you are right to assume, in other words )

DO correct me if I'm wrong to think this.

It could be quite different, if there's TOO much load, then the path of least resistance may in fact be backward through one of the diodes and cause failure.

It seems rather complicated in this fashion. you'll want the path of optimum resistive load to be through the bridge - and all will be fine.
