TBF ive only ever snapped a chain racing.I was out on a ride with @potsy once and his derailleur bust. We had the tool and quick link with us and fashioned his bike into a single speed. Got him the last 20 miles or so home.
I have also had a chain break when the a side plate has failed. I have then fixed it with tool and quick link. So although I don't expect it, going prepared has been beneficial.
I use the term 'racing' looselyTBF ive only ever snapped a chain racing.
