I have sheared 2 HD dogbones once. I think its a combination of bad landing and keeping on the throttle...

i believe it was bad landing. i hit a jump at wot then flew about 15ft into a another jump. i was giving throttle to bring the nose up in flight so that probably did it.

HD bones wont solve your problem, they will just snap all the time. I prefer the black ones because they twist a little rather than snap. A little twist it the central shaft is not a problem, a bend on the other hand...
