What DeiCide said. Cant think of any other reason. Its not voltage or heat it would have to be mechanical stress.

It is generally caused by not keeping the sparkplug socket (or tube spanner) straight on the plug when in stalling or removing - if the angle is not correct the walls of the socket press against the porcelain insulator and crack - doesn't take much to break them. The plug socket must be in a straight line with the plug. The porcelain is about as fragile as your grandmothers china.
