Remember... she's shooting mice with a 44 mag. Sounds like
someone is self medicated.
If it happend that way, she is lucky the round didn't hit her under the chin.
Big mess..

Lack of maintenance makes it even less likely to fire.
Trigger pulled back requires a finger on it providing pressure.
If you mean hammer pulled back, the sear locks into the hammer and holds it in place until the trigger releases it. The only way for the weapon to fire is to break the sear, or the hammer, and a fall to a floor, even directly on the hammer, is not adequate to do that on a modern pistol.
This cannot happen with pretty much any .44 magnum revolver made since the early '70s because of litigation.
Do you own a single action revolver or any .44 Magnum?
Round under the chin is chlorine in the gene pool.
