A cannon mishap happened a few years back at my college. Some members of Kappa Alpha fired a cannon at their "Old South" party and the cannon exploded and sent pieces everywhere. No major damage, as far as I know. My sister was actually at the party, and narrowly escaped a piece of the cannon because a column she was standing behind blocked it from hitting her. One guy got hit with a piece and hurt, but not seriously. I don't think any punitive action was taken, because they kept it pretty hush-hush. That was the end of their cannon days, though.
