Looks like there was a fracture long before it snapped. The cross section shows about 1/3 rust build up. It has been broken before it completely snapped. Scarier if there was no sign of rust and it just snapped. How did it break? My guess is manufacturing defect or stress-corrosion. That bar should not have passed inspection before powder coating. A small nick or a tiny and shallow hairline crevice will enlarge due to stress BUT what do I know.
