Poor installation, chain damage, excessive wear, Unipack.
The only 4 reasons a chain should snap in normal usage.
I always carry a breaker and a short length of chain for longer rides but have never ever had to use them.
The only time I have snapped a chain was on a bike someone else put together. Trackstand for a minute at the corner of Theobalds and Grey's Inn, lights change, lean forward, snap chain, fall on floor. Glad it was the middle of the rush hour.
