I've had plastics break several times (on cameras and other things.) You go and buy something worth several hundred dollars and it's working is compromised by a flimsy plastic part. For want of a nail the battle was lost.
To be honest I'd rather the flash broke than the shoe on the camera. It should be a deliberate weak point in the design, but I'd also want the flash to be cheap to repair in that situation.
Now that I think about it, maybe it should be designed to simply disconnect rather than snapping.
