Cessna Main Whell Snap?

Just wondering how strong the main gears are on a Cessna. I have heard some people actually can break these on a landing? Like during a ground loop (how does a ground loop happen?) or a stall from flaring too high (how high of a fall can the gear endure?)

Any sites where I can see photos or videos of bad landing resulted in main gear snapping off?

redblue,

Any particular type of cessna you are interested in?
