The reason they snap is due to a force of physics known as cyclic loading. It actually does fracture from having too much load on the outboard side of the outer bearing. Slowly bends over time until it reaches a neutral point along the cross section of the snout where the snout can't hold the weight of the truck and it cuts clean off.
Pics for your eyeball pleasure.
And then this happened to my buddy this morning.
