Default anyone snapped a driveshaft UJ before?

just done my bi-weekly shopping, 100 yards from the store i hear a loud bang as i pull away from the lights, lose most of my traction,and theres a godawful racket from my n/s rear wheel.

had a quick look under the car while i wait for the RAC and the green cylinder on the diff end of the drive shaft was obliterated. half of it was lying in the road!!!

luckily i still have my old silver saloon as i'm half way through pulling a few bits off it before i scrap it so i'm gonna swap the drivesafts over this weekend (Weather permitting).

anyone else had this happen before? the whole UJ assembly looks quite sturdy to me so i'm a bit suprised at whats happened TBH
