Accidentally, no. But that isn’t what you said happened.

“In Paris this week, protesters had a win when the flame was extinguished four times by security officers in what’s thought to be the first time the flame has been put out by organisers.”

THe officers in charge put it out. It wasn’t put out accidentally. I’d imaging the design includes an ‘off’ switch, so you could put it out if it was necessary. That it became necessary is interesting.
