Been there done that. You put the cap on at an angle, the needle caught on the wall, started bending as you applied pressure, and poked through. I do the scoop method too, or grab the cap by the end, so even if it pokes through, it won't stab me.
What's worse is when you get a needle to bend like that while it's in you.That's why I try to avoid glute pins at all costs. I get a cramp from reaching back and twisting (Yeah, working on flexibility), so I'll just jam that bastard in. I guess I came in at an angle, of course the wife was talking to me, and next thing I know - syringe is sideways, with the needle all the way in. Luckily I didn't break it off, and only tore some skin.
