Almost any of the circumstances you mention could result in a fracture as you describe. They are musical instruments, not a piece of sports equipment. As to
"not supposed to crack", that is what I would expect if they were used as intended. I've seen several bass claris cracked exactly as you describe. They were all school band instruments. It's a relatively easy fix, though. The damaged tenon can be re-sleeved with Delron, I have such a repair on my Noblet bass clari.
