Not to say there hasn't ever been a case of a defective part, but the reality is that something like a suspension arm just falling apart or snapping out of the blue is impossible.

Second thing is what is "moderate speed" in one person's mind is slamming the hell out of it in someone else's. Along those lines is that people forget two things: if they ran into something with their real car at a similar speed that they'd break something, so why not their RC; and these things are not as tough as people want to think they should be.

And finally, it's wasn't THAT wreck that broke it it was the previous wreck(s). Things seldom break as a direct result of your most recent crash - but instead were damaged (cracked) previously and were only hanging on by the barest of threads only waiting to fully break later.
Good point
