The causes of these accidents vary, either because of manufacturing defect (which is rather unusual, though not impossible in modern times), to improper handling, blockage of the barrel or inappropriate use of ammunition (which is now on the increase)
Another factor to consider is the “reload”. If the amount of powder is exceeded it could very easily lead to the barrel burst, while the amount below the limit would not provide enough power to push the projectile out of the barrel, leaving it stuck inside which would cause an accident when the second shot is made
Let's take a look at some pictures of such incidents:
