Removing vacuum hoses: Too easy?

Removing vacuum hoses: Too easy?
While doing other troubleshooting (discussed in another thread) I had to remove the vacuum hose from my fuel pressure regulator. I removed each end. I noticed that it came off surprisingly easily, even with the engine running. Now, it's not hanging loose, but it did seem to slide right off with only a tiny bit of force. Is this normal?

could just be they are old hoses and no longer elastic. yeah, I dunno the size either.
if the rubber is at all hard and not elastic, I'd go ahead and replace all of them. and yeah, if its a turbo, they have clamps on them, as turbos have negative vacuum aka positive pressure under boost, and would blow the hoses right off.
