Could something you flushed down the toilet get caught in the toilet or pipes?
Everything is possible but most likely if it was flushed then it will not get caught in the pipes. ------------ Depending on what you are flushing, it can most certainly get caught in the pipes. Older plumbing cannot handle "modern" things people flush down the toilet, such as feminine hygiene products. These can get caught up in the plumbing, slowly building up and eventually blocking the pipe, creating an UGLY mess. If you take a look at most sit-down commodes you will notice that there are a couple of really sharp turns before the system even enters the floor. At these turns, certain hard things like glasses and cell phones can get caught in the toilet itself.

Could the pipes burst if there is a groan when the toilet is flushed?
Yes they can. In general, however, the "groan" is not as bad as the "hammer."

Most modern plumbing fixtures account for this "hammering." But there are lots of old pipes out there too!
