Avoided a near disaster - Is there a solution so it doesn't happen again?
I recently had a supply hose to my toilet break. Luckily I was home at the time and stopped it before any damage occurred. I replaced the supply hose with a plastic fitting but am thinking of switching to a metal fitting supply hose instead. Is it worth it?
Also, and most importantly...does anyone know anything about an auto water shutoff system? One where the system shuts the main water off when there's a water leak?
I am interested in all feedback, suggestions and help!
Thank you!

What you need to put on is stainless steel braided, burst proof supply lines. I don't know of anything that would turn the main water off,but they do have supply lines that stop the water flow if the hose falls off for some reason. I think they are called flood guard.(I don't like them). If the other fixtures have the same kind of supply the toilet had I would replace all with braided stainless steel.(They are not expensive by the way)
I use chrome plated copper supplied with brass ferrule compression as even the stainless steel burst proof relies on runner for intergrity
