There is a nick just inside (below) the radius on the edge where the failure is. Do you know where or how it was created? That may have been the location of the force that caused the crack.
I think it is at a location that might get the initial torque transfer when the RH pedal is at 3 "o'clock" or so, not a huge surprise. Squirtdad just does massive fast starts.
