It happens more than you would think. The lights at my old town’s hockey rink have plenty of pucks on top of them, seen it happen multiple times in the middle of a game too.
i once did this thing in gym class. we were meant to kick the ball out into the playing field and then run from base to base, kinda like baseball but with a bigger softer ball, and if it leaves the court it‘s a team switch. everyone knew i hated running so when i kicked the ball and it went behind us, onto the railing and into the seats everyone went „how did you plan that? it was 100% on purpose wasn‘t it?“ and i go „no i‘m just so uncoordinated i just DID that.“
