I have never had a crank arm break off, but believe me, it would be a catastrophic crash. I had a terrible crash with a set of these Aseparts pedal extenders that Sweetheart14 and her husband sell. My pedal extender broke off right where it screws into the crank, leaving the threaded part of the pedal extender in the crank, and leaving me sprawled out in the middle of the street after my foot hit the ground. Luckily there wasn't any traffic on the road, so I didn't get run over, and my injuries healed up after 5-6 months. But I had no idea that breaking off a pedal or a crank or a pedal extender would result in such a bad crash !
