No snapped posts, but I have broken every full suspension bike I have owned. You put together long limbs and heavy weight and I am a punisher of bikes...lol. My Thomson post was longest lasting..never had an issue with it, but it was a 125mm travel on a full 520mm seat tube. On my KS dropper before that...it rarely lasted a month or two before it would stop working. I am now running a OneUp 170mm dropper (on a 530mm seat tube and still have 3" of post showing) and it's having some issues...so I would say I have seen some shit...lol.
