Did the other frames break because the seatpost snapped it??

😆

Jokes aside I'd imagine it was swingarms giving way???

One did, the other went on the seat stay!

What do I do though. It's a large frame and I'm an in proportion 6'1". That's the size Yeti recommend for my height (upto 6'3")

I'm hoping the softer rear end will put less pressure there.

Wouldn't recommend a sloping top tube and long legs!

(It was the hard tail versions that snapped)

No, top tube at the seat post on one and seatstay on the other

I've cracked everyframe I've ever owned except an old yeti 575 (Ali frame) so maybe it's me

Probably reflects that there is a limit to how much material you can lose from a frame before it becomes prone to failure. The back end of the ASRc looks like it might snap just looking at it. I'll stop looking now just in case, as it is very nice.
On a positive note although I have seen Yeti's with broken carbon chain stays I have run one for a couple of years with no problems (although its a Big Top and they appear overbuilt and certainly not very lightweight)..
