Broken Crank?

Has anyone here ever broken the arm off of a crank coming to a stop quickly? I have a really tiny crack in my Campy crank, but it's awesome and super light and I don't want to stop using it. The alternative is to buy a 44t chainring and use my much lamer stock crank that came with the bike.
The crack is right where the arm meets the crank (spider? not sure what the right term is). I've never met anyone who's actually broken a crank, which is why I decided to just use it, but if someone here has, then I should probably reconsider...
