If you want to have a hard limit on the loss, you'll have to buy a put option.
Much much much less common than a stock going down, but when large counterparties become insolvent, a lot of people start needing to write off big chunks of their positions.
If you put a limit on the stop loss then there's no guarantee it'll clear, but at least you won't sell for some ridiculously low amount.
The exchange might have circuit breakers that won't let a particular symbol change more than X% in a given period of time.
