I was on a mountain bike trail with small jumps and I was following a kid who was about 300 pounds. When he landed from a jump the crank spindle snapped off and he took quite a tumble. He was unhurt and said he had broken lots of parts.
A friend who raced cat3 at 265 pounds snapped a crankarm riding near home.
