Yeah - it is a PITA that spreader bar hooks breaks - but THEY DO !
I think it happens to all of them (brands), that you can get one that breaks, or have one that breaks after 5-7 years of use
Or you can ride 40 years without having one
And as we are some who simply hates a bar that is not fixed (a sliding or tilting spreader bar), this is not an option, eventhough the stress might be less.
Unfortunately I dont think there is much to do about this risk
