Pentesters getting owned?

Has anyone ever heard of or seen a pen-testers laptop get owned while their on site? I was just thinking,
sometimes to exploit wacky services you need to open yourself up. Which obviously led me to the hilarious
thought (albeit scary if it were me), what if i got owned?
I think if I were in a different job (it security officer ect) I would most likely scan their machine when they
came on site (You don't want a vulnerabler pen-tester hanging around your network breaking in and gaining access,
without at least considering their security, right?) Has anyone who has these positions done such a thing?
Just some fun evening thoughts,
