This morning my chain snapped on a steep hill in Boulder Canyon

I was coming down Boulder Canyon around 7 AM when I shifted into my lowest gear and the chain just gave out. I went from moving to zero real quick, almost ate it over the handlebars. Had to walk my bike half a mile to the nearest gas station and call a coworker for a ride. I keep telling myself I need to replace chains more often but I always push it too far. Anyone else had a chain fail on them at the worst possible moment?

Did your friend's chain snap on a steep hill too?

Friend's chain snapped on a flat road once, so a steep hill sounds like a nightmare. Hope nobody got hurt.
