Driveshafts?

How common is it to break a drive shaft instead of a U-joint in 2wd with a 4spd? my truck only has a mild 350 under 400ft.lbs of torque and I twisted the shaft completely in two. My truck 74k5 started rolling back when I let off brakes on a small hill at a stop sign so I gave it a little more than usual to keep from hitting buddy who was following me and goodbye driveshaft didnt really give it my all but my truck doesnt have best gearing either 3.73 with 33s
