Failed doing a climb on zwift. Started cycling last summer, estimating roughly 2000km on the pedals. Is this a normal item to fail or more of a freak accident?

What brand pedal is that?
I’ve got 4 sets of Shimano SPD, one of which is ~20 years old. Never had one come apart on me.
I’d say toss those out and replace with m520, 540, or XT. They all work the same, just get a little lighter as you go up in price. My 20 year old pair is the cheap m520 btw. 🙂
I zwift with Shimano Ultegra PD-6620 pedals with >8,000 mi I put on them before putting the bike on the smart trainer stand. They’re about 20 yrs old and going strong. That’s a crap pedal.
How often does this happen? It’s uncommon but it happens. I’ve had this happen with my egg beaters. I ended up having to order a rebuild kit which included new internals. Easy rebuild but annoying when it happens in the middle of a ride. I had maybe 3k mtb miles in them before this happened, so I wasn’t too surprise
