Well, I do weigh 17stone! :P
Snapped the headtube where it meets the top and down on a bmx, got mucho pissed off with a bike yrs ago and threw it and that trashed the frame (cheap piece of shit), my Specialized FSR got totaled the same accident as my ankle and shoulder did doing DH (that was expensive), my one and only road bike (2nd hand alloy raleigh I think) I noticed cracks starting to show at head tube after 6 months, an old no brand mtb ended under someones car (luckily I went the other way, but still broke collar bone and 2 ribs), and the rest were stolen including Specialized Stumpjumper framed last build.
Most of the breakages weren't down to just weight though, there was also the complete lack of skill to factor in too!
