Has anyone ever had something happen during a match that seemed to defy the laws of physics?

I was playing a match in a weekly tournament and it was hill/hill. My opponent raked the coins back together to the end rail as many do on hill/hill. I ran down to an easy 7 in the corner but got somewhat straight on the seven. I decided to shoot a soft rail first. When the cue ball hit the rail it caught the edge of one of the coins and hopped just a little, right on top of the object ball causing it to jump. Both balls end up on the floor. I never dreamed this could have happened on a soft hit! It appeared that the balls sprouted wings or simply rolled over the rails.Carazy!

When two balls get stuck against each other, hanging over the mouth of a pocket and jammed between the rail endings just hanging over the shelf of the slate. I've seen this happen twice, but the first time was the shocker. Very weird when it happens. Both times on a Brunswick Medalist 4x8.
