Shear pins go all the time not necessarily down to tug driver speed or driving standards. Could be a dodgy ramp with a slight incline or deviation, a pin that has just given in due wear and tear or slight mishap on angles. The fact it went isn't to much a concern it's more the question of was it noticed and stopped or did the aircraft roll forward due to an unlevel ramp surface.
