They do. Reminds me of a previous job long ago where a datacenter tech was checking where a network cable went by tugging on it, resulting in a network switch blade being yanked out of a chassis, bringing down half of the production environment.
These thing did happen, can happen and will happen.
Even in modern cloud environments. AWS might consider the hardware your EC2 VM is running on unstable, prompting you to replace/move the VM within 24 hours (if it has not already brought down by hardware failure).
