I have.
It was on my 2004 fuji track(SS). Im 5'11" and weigh about 210lbs.
It happend when i was riding real fast and hit a small bump. My first thoughts were that i tripped the bearings or something. When i took it to my lbs the menchanic opened it up and showed me the axle broken in half. He said he never seen that before.

I've only ever heard of it happening on freestyle mountain bikes a few years ago before extra burly freestyle parts were common, never on anything else, ever.
It's defective, get a free replacement no matter what the age.
