In cases like this, one tends to focus on the broken pieces as the "source" of the problem. However, maybe the real issue lies somewhere else in your drivetrain. Is it possible one of your shafts is binding up in a certain suspension position? If so, I would think your slipper would give before putting out enough power to shear these. One yes, three - no way. Just thinking out loud here...
I guess it comes down to one of two things. Either a string of defective parts, or you have something occuring that creates great opposing forces at that spot.
Has it been in the same spot every time? Have you noticed when it occurs?
