Never had a CDX belt fail.
On trips we have always pack a spare belt along with at least one spare tire, a few tubes, etc... common sense. For packing, I re-coil the belt in the same way that it is delivered new in 3(?) loops. The correct action for doing that is gentle enough and does not necessitate twisting the belt to any excessive degree.
However, just this last weekend a small twig flipped up into the belt and into the rear timing sprocket, derailing the belt half way on the rear sprocket. We stopped pedaling as soon as we realized what had happened and coasted to a stop. Seems like no harm, but we'll see as we continue to ride with it.
