I have quite literally never seen one of these break (in fact, I've only ever seen a HTD belt from any source break once, in almost a decade of FRC). Are you sure you're using them within specs?
One thing to watch out for is that belts can break if they are crimped (this was the cause of the one failure I have seen, and is the cause of most of the ones I've heard about).
