Yes chains do snap, my svs chain snapped a few years ago when I was on the m6. Chain was fairly well looked after and also had a scottoiler but it was getting towards the end of it's life though.
Kitkat also had the chain snap on her Raptor, that chain hadn't been so well looked after and had a couple of tight spots.
Rictus also had a chain snap on his triumph (I'm pretty sure it was a triumph) on a rideout.

That the only time I've had a chain snap in 14 years of riding though.
