Personally the closest I’ve ever been was in the mid 90’s when I accidentally touched the string with my broadhead. No damage to the bow but I needed a new string.
I was shooting with a buddy once at work and he showed the bow to another guy who drew it back and let it go without an arrow on the string. That was a bowtech guardian and the limbs were cracked.
A few years later my wife was shooting her carbon element beside me and she drew back, the nock came off the string and she didn’t notice. On the shot I heard it didn’t sound right, looked and saw the arrow drop to the ground and realised what had happened. Maybe not exactly HOW it happened but I know the nock wasn’t broken and she didn’t shoot the arrow so she messed something up. No damage to the Hoyt.
