Your ascender needs to move a tiny bit forward for the cam to disengage, and if you slam it up hard against a carabiner with the rope stretched tight under your body weight, this is not gonna happen. This becomes even more of a problem if the rope is heading off on a bit of a traverse. I learned this the hard way on my first big wall. A good rule of thumb: always stop your ascender about the width of a fist, or say 4 or so inches, away from a carabiner or knot.
