I've only had two rods break while in my possession.
The first was an Orvis whose tip was broken in the case when I got it. The second was a T&T I'd left on the roof of the truck, and pulled out. By the time I realized it and went looking for the rod it had been run over several times.
Considering how hard I am on my equipment, it's either very surprising or a tribute to the makers that I haven't actually broken any myself. But I've been with others who've broken them in car doors and via other abusive treatment.
