Actually, quite the opposite. My (almost) 90kg has broken off zero holds on dirty rotten pig and bunny buckets, while my climbing partners of between the 55-65kg mark have broken them off seconding me. I climb with light thoughts, perhaps that's why. Or maybe I'm quite conscious about weighting holds too much and climb "gingerly". whatever reason, no. Never slipped off a hold, never fallen as a result of breaking a hold (not saying that i've not, i'm sure i have - i must have, but never fallen as a result)
