I read Federal's response above, they did not say it could not happen, they said the likelyhood is so small making it improbable. Rare events do happen, black swans. I have no reason to doubt it happened to Jent. Perhaps the chance of this happening is along the lines of being struck by blue sky lightning, it happens to people. I think a good point has been made, it is a good idea to make a habit of checking your barrels between shots which is simple to do on a break action gun. Hard to do when speed is important, shooting crows for instance, but always a good idea.
Anybody remember the old Peters Blue Magic's in 12ga? After several reloads they would routinely break off above the brass head and the rest of the hull would get launched.
