Unless it has a pre-existing crack, I have no idea how one could break a crystal mouthpiece in one's mouth. Pretending it was a pretzel stick and biting hard? Marching with it and stepping off an unseen curb? Help me out, folks - if you broke one in your mouth, what were you doing at the time?
By the way, I would never play a crystal without a mouthpiece patch on the beak. Besides reducing the risk of breaking your teeth, it reduces the transmission of vibrations into your teeth, and adds grip to keep the mouthpiece from sliding around inside your mouth. I'd guess that playing without such a patch could contribute to a broken mouthpiece.
