How did this happen?!

Ok guys so I know enough about cars/trucks to get me in trouble so can anyone explain to me how this happened to this spark plug?

Here’s the story....this is my 98 f150, it is just a work around the house kind of truck if I put 1000 miles a year on it that’s a lot
Last New Years I took it to my buddies mountain cabin and while driving out there going up a mountain “pushing the accelerator “ the truck started bucking and check engine light flashing. I pulled code and it was “cylinder 4 misfire”

Well I’m just now getting to the repair and I bought all new plugs and swapped them yesterday
This picture is the #4 plug which obviously is bent and causing the misfire

Truck is driving perfect now with new plugs but my question is why/how did that plug bend like that?
