Under what circumstances might a depositor lose some of the money he has deposited in a bank?

What causes bank panics?
There are two classic trains of thought regarding panics. Friedman and Schwartz (1963) argue that panics are caused primarily by a loss of confidence in the banking sector, due perhaps to the failure of a large bank, or to a loss of confidence in the currency.
Why cant all depositors in a bank withdraw all of their money at once?
Why can’t all depositors in a bank withdraw all of their money at once? The money deposited in the bank by everyone are either invested or given as loans. So, if everyone tries to take their money back at the same time the bank will go bankrupt because it doesn’t have so much reserve cash.
