I only see two ways to break it there.
1. Over tightening of the nut (we're talking impact gun levels of torque).
2. Manufacturing defect (micro-fractures in the metal).
There are other things that could break a crank like a badly out of balance flywheel/clutch assembly but I would expect it to break in a different place for that.
