Why does my riding mower belt keep coming off?

There are lots of potential reasons for a mower deck belt that keeps coming off. It might be that the belt is damaged or worn, the belt could have stretched, one or more belt keepers could be bent out of place or there could be a damaged pulley or pulley bracket.
