Doesn't it say 'Shimano' on the picture?
But yeah, that's a new one to me too. Actually not quite - I've had it happen before with a chain I repaired without using a quick link, as I failed to put the pin through properly. That was completely my own fault though.
SwissChap-
Yeah, that's a random pic from the internet. Chain is sram. Always had good experience with 10 speed sram though...
Only thing I can think about is I dropped the bike twice since installing that chain and once it was rusty as I put it away without cleaning after a very wet and dirty commute. But breaking...

It was an sram pc 1130 I think. Looked down after I noticed my chain was not running smoothly and saw it was a bit crooked (roads were very dirty so I thought It was just mucked up). Stopped to inspect and on the picture here: https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/bike-chain-loose-996-644-1447696801.jpg?resize=768:* the part that's loose was broken. Forgot to take a picture as it was raining and I was pissed off :p
I admit my chain maintenance is not always 100% on the commuter, but have never had anything break on me...
