How did it happen? Bad landing while jumping, cruising to grandma's on the trail? Give us some info

Put 2800 miles on my D7 and didn't loose the crank. They held up well for that sled.

I was going back to the truck so I was at about 6000 ft pulling 8350 rpm down hill and it snaped inside the case havent had apart yet but the runout was checked preseason and was under .001". clutch was torqed. Just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this.
