Three failures in two frames.... why do you think it SEEMS to have a history of failing? J/K.

I've had several frames break while riding in addition to this Santana. A Raleigh 531c, three Kestrels (1-4000, 2-200sci), a Cannondale, a ProFlex and a Serotta Ti. None of the frame breaks were catastrophic. I inspect after every ride, and most creaks that defy normal maintenance are usually something to do with the structural rigidity of the frame.

My wife updates the insurance often and encourages me to ride.
