A lot of collarbone breaks are caused by the helmet.
I broke mine, even with a good chest protector. I am pretty sure the lower edge of my helmet got driven into the collarbone when I endoed. The chin of the helmet was cracked and missing a lot of paint.

The break point corresponds right at the edge of my helmet.
