I'd assume it's due to the rockers being weaker than the valves, easiest point will break first. Just a guess though
Bingo - remember these have the valves positioned directly upright and the rockers will be the first thing to fail, they've got pretty thick valve stems, you'd struggle to bend them, because the force is in it's strongest axis.
I've seen XUDs which from memory have the same diameter valve stems rather than bend anything, smash the cam into 3 pieces and the valve be in perfect condition.
