It's easier for a lot of people to say "My gun went off on its own!" than "I wasn't practicing proper trigger discipline."
That said, having owned several jackets with drawstrings in my younger days, I can see the cord getting in the holster when the pistol is inserted. I can't see it being a very likely occurrence, but I can see it happening.
