Yes, that is something different. You are right. Even firing pin safeties are not infallible. About 6 months ago a police officer in Austria shot himself in the foot with a Glock. He forgot to remove his trigger finger before holstering, and it was enough force to fire the weapon.
The firing pin safety did its job just fine. It allowed the weapon to fire when the trigger was pulled, which seems to be what this guy did.
