I have never heard of one going off while it was being loaded. I can't see how it would be possible if done in correct order. After all, the cap is placed on last.
Back in the 60s a guy shot himself through the hand/wrist with a ball and rod of a pistol he was loading.
Examination showed excess fouling in the breech that trapped a "spark". Pistol had been shot extensively and not thoroughly cleaned.
I believe a shotgun fired due to the same cause but the guy somehow escaped injury.
I know the pistol was at Friendship shotgun too I think.
I suspect it has happened other places as well.
