My old massage table had a strap that snapped. Now I always check twice.

Good call, that's a smart habit to develop for checking all your equipment really.

My cheap yoga mat split right down the middle during a class, and it was so embarrassing. I had bought it because it was a good price, but the material just gave out. Now I inspect all my gear for weak spots before I use it, even new stuff. That moment taught me that a quick look-over isn't enough sometimes. You really have to test the weight and check the seams. It turned a simple habit into a careful routine for me.

Reading your story, I see it another way. Sometimes gear just fails no matter how much you check it (I had a backpack strap snap out of nowhere after looking it over). Fixating on weak spots can take the fun out of using your stuff. Being careful is smart, but things breaking is often just bad luck. You can't always prevent it, so maybe don't let it worry you too much.
