If you can guess correctly you win a prize!

The gate may have been slightly open while the spine was loaded on an edge during a fall or similar?

The gate was closed, but the hinge pin on the gate failed so that the spine suffered what was essentially a gate-open condition.

On the two biners I have handy it appears that the hinge pin rotates with the gate so that it's a little loose in the biner body. So, although this hinge pin looks short, it may just be hanging down into the hole from one end. So I suspect that the pin was okay but for some reason the legs that the hinge pin goes through broke, hence the missing gate. However, due to the broken spine I'm guessing the spine broke first or they broke simultaneously because I don't see how the broken gate could lead to a broken spine.
I suspect it was dropped and suffered macro fractures.

Don't expect much, he's an unemployed canadian.
So, let me guess, the broken biner is a result of you shooting it with a canon some fool allowed you to use unsupervised????
Pay up bitch...
You have to keep a careful eye on these canadians, they get real sketchy when bored.
By the way, that better not be one of mine or tuckers. We take a dim view of destructive canadians.

One guess eh hoser?
My guess is a two parter:
The first part is that your prize is very, very lame. Probably the second half of your biner, or a ball of lint, or perhaps a shitty canadian beer.
The second part of my guess is that you tried to pull a friend's car out of a ditch using old rope, and just one aluminum climbing carabiner, instead of two steel lockers. Just like any other dumbass would.
If you start talking about Labatts blue, and defend it as a good beer, shut the hell up right now, because you don't know what you're talking about.

This is not a guess, it is a request for clarification.
Has this been cleaned up (i.e. other material / parts removed) for the photo? Or, is this exactly how it was found (allowing for repositioning for photography)?

You had a run-in with Wolverine and he cut the biner with one of his claws.

hooked the notch on a bolt or whatnot. You can break a biener with like 3 to 5kn of force that way.
