Hmm, it just seems unlikely to be just force, in polo I have crashes that result in me putting some multiple of my 17 stone through my brakes without the cable snapping (by landing on the lever!)...
Much more likely to be faulty cables, rough edges or a bend that's too sharp in the outer catching?
Can't really see from the picture, but probably wouldn't be able to tell anyway... Try rubbing you fingers against every edge near the cable.

@Khornight2 it's all as supposed to be just too much force on the cable is all I can think, here is how it snapped. The scratches seem to have taken lots of camera flash to make them look worse but that's just from them rubbing against stuff when bike is resting against walls and things.
