We hope that it's just due to the fact that it was a heavily used track that has a lot of wear during build season and post build season.
We at AndyMark have not heard of anyone else breaking a tread. These treads are rated at 600 pounds of break strength, with a safety factor of at least 2. The white (or clear) colored timing belts are reinforced with a continuous loop of steel cables.

Can you provide more information regarding how your tread broke?
