Lou,
reading your last statement, "when this happes (happens) and you are in
one of the larger sprockets." I only use the last two large sprockets
near the spokes for steep climbing. Actually the largest sprocket as a
bail-out gear (not much use at all). That could be the reason I never sucked
a chain into the spokes. I also use med. or small cage derailleurs.
Never broken a derailleur hanger...but knocking on steel.

I'm glad you never had a broken hanger, because it's sucks. It happened
to me in very muddy conditions off road on a steep climb. The climbs are
steep and they appear so sudden that one has no time to consider which
gear you are in. You just slap the shifter and put some pressure on the
pedals or walk or fall over ;-)

I could see how it could happen in mountain, uneven and ever changing
terrain.
