Limbs break for all manner of reasons, I know somebody who has had 4 sets of G3's fail on them somebody else has shot the same type of limb for many 10,000's of shots without a problem.

Even wrongly stringing a bow can add strains and tensions to the limbs that they were not designed for and cause failure. Likewise changing limb settings like tiller, weight and centre or even having them wound in too far. Then there is incorrect bracing height, leaving them in a hot or very cold car, arrows too light for the poundage or even the way they can be drawn up with torque in the handle. Other problems could be dropping them, dry firing and in some cases a string that does not have enough strands and is too light.

Limbs absorb loads of vibrations and stresses so it's not surprising that some from a production run do give up.
