Maybe he did. I thought it was empty...
Have you taken any more classes from Gabe? Or from Matt Sims?
Both of these issues are known in the firearms training community. When I took the SigArms Instructor class a couple years ago one of the instructors said he never believe that a dropped round could go off until it happened during a class he was teaching. (I forget the exact details as to why the round was dropped).
As to empty cases going back in backwards, that one I've seen myself. It was at an indoro range and the shell hit the divider and flipped back into the gun, backwards. The student was shooting my Glock 19 when it happened. I didn't have a camera, so no pics, sorry.

I don't find it very difficult to believe at all.
The early Keltec Sub2000 models were bad about bouncing ejected brass back into the action before they changed the ejection port hood. It was such a common problem that KT used to ship you a couple little pieces of spring steel to slip over the hood just aft of the ejection port if you called to complain.

In a Wambaugh novel, there was a situation where a defense was claiming that in a shooting involving a .30 carbine, one of the shells landed and stood straight up on its end. The prosecution claimed this was impossible, so they fired one thousands of time until it happened again.
Difficult does not mean impossible. To every game of chance there is a measure of inevitability.

cool. thanks for posting. i've never heard or seen either situation.
i,ve come across cold camp fire sites with some 38 brass in it that looked just like that 40s&w brass. never stopped to consider one could det just by the force of hitting the ground.
never had a glock put the brass back in the gun before, but have had a few so weakly ejected that the brass ended up resting on the top of the slide.
