Well, today's was sitting pedaling up a steep and trying to drop onto the granny as I found myself in slippery mud.The one before that one was on my HT, standing going up another steep. HT set up 1x9 - went with a bang that one
Im sorry mate but you are asking for trouble shifting through the gears under load........
Select the right gear before loading the cranks up with power....
Chains & Links never fail if you use the gears correctly!
Never broken one, use them on my HT and on my SS. The SS has a 9-speed chain too... Just bad luck? 
neil's-on-wheels - MemberI was running a chain a few years ago that had three of them in.
Not to play one-upmanship, but I serviced a bike (that belonged to the Commando Training Camp at Lympstone) that had NINE power links in it O_o and it was working tolerably...
bonesetter - MemberNah Mick - it's more a case of me having to take over the thighs of steel mantle
I can accept the shifting under load, but the other occasion was JRA
Ahh, I'll never be in the TOS league will I - Hoping to make both of those rides
My Sram chain snapped at the weekend and it was at the power link that it failed....I only had half the power link left so no idea what happened to the other half
popped a new one in and rode on 
I broke one the other day in fairly easy terrain. I had chain suck, stopped and sorted it out, carried on another ten yards and the powerlink snapped. The pin had pulled out of the link.
I don't know whether the broken powerlink caused the chainsuck or vice-versa...
The powerlink was about 6 months old and used in gritty conditions for much of its life
