I've had had (and seen) quick links fail too.
When I first built my Cargo Bike, I put on a pair of Bell chains (needs to be LONG). Broke the chain twice in early testing, and that chain came off.
I replaced it with a Shimano 9s chain which worked, but wore out too quickly. I now have a Shimano 8s chain on it.
Anyway, don't buy just the cheapest chains you can find. Get a good chain.
