It only put a hole in his ceiling, but he was able to recreate the problem with the gun unloaded and made a video of it. Stock Glock triggers SUCK, but those guns are very safe. That's not to say they're not unforgiving of people who don't follow the basic gun safety rules. But I've dropped mine (loaded) on the garage floor at least twice, it landed square on the back of the slide and nothing happened.

I like how some of the competition (like the SA XDm) has the trigger safety AND a grip safety. I've seen photos of a guy with a leather holster that caught his trigger and put a round through the bottom of his car. I think something about the seatbelt tugging the gun out of his holster a little, then him trying to shove it back down into the holster.
