I've also only had one chain that broke on me. That was on an uphill stretch, which fortunately didn't end up with me being thrown forward. I had a chain tool with me, and some spare chain links. In a few minutes I was on my way again This occurred far from home on a lightly traveled rural road (the road from Amado to Arivaca, for you Arizona folks), before the days of cell phones, so I would have needed to depend on the kindness of others to bail me out if I couldn't fix the chain.
I alway carry a Park CT-5C "Mini Chain Brute Tool" and spare links in my kit.
