Yup. It could also be hardware failure in the sense of a flakey power button. Either way, it's probably not people intentionally pushing the power button a lot

Definitely not intentional. Even if you are fidgeting with the power button, while being bored, the phone makes so much fuzz about it, when you hit the right combo. You would need to be deaf, blind or dead not to notice you're just about to call emergency. Or startled by the noise, panic and throw your phone out the window followed by a brick, hammer and grand piano...

Nah, I did this once and didn't notice until the call was placed because I was a little tipsy and engaged in conversation. IIRC it didn't make any noise since my phone is always on vibrate, it just buzzed a bit and by the time I processed what was happening it was too late and I had to explain to the dispatcher that no, I was just fidgeting with my phone.
