I think you jinxed yourself in that other thread where the guy was asking if Hipped was needed or not and you said yours weren't and no problems yet . Lol

Are head breakages like that common ? Tied to any one particular brand ? Or is this one brand just more common than others ?

No doubt, all heads are not created equal
