I know I'm jinxing myself here but I've never had a chain snap in my whole life. That's over 15 years of riding, hundreds of thousands of miles. On and off-road, racing etc...
If you buy a GOOD quality chain and have it PROFESSIONALLY fitted, keep it adjusted and lubricated, it won't fail...

You wouldn't jump into a leaking boat to cross and ocean or ride a camel and never feed or water it.. ~~
Okay I'm ranting..  |
Around here, the majority of bikes run 420 chain, 520/525 is usually special order.
And the last time I had my chain 'professionally' fitted, the mechanic didn't tighten the sprocket lockring nuts properly, which could have been somewhat disastrous.
As for leaking boats, jury-rigged pumps or baling buckets are pretty common on the inter-island bancas and fishing boats that will get you to smaller spots.
