Trap and skeet shooters use it while they are waiting for their turn to shoot....Shotguns..over/under or SxS... are unloaded or sometimes loaded and open until the time the barrel is taken off the pad to shoot...Been in use for decades....
I guess sometime someone took off a toe.....but it would have been extremely rare......in that the rules are you don't close the gun until it is your turn to shoot....
I would be more concerned about those who lean a loaded gun against the car....or lay a loaded gun on the tailgate.....
