Like TRIANGLEFROMGUARD was describing, it's not usually from not tapping to a submission it's usually something weird...an arm in the wrong place, foot stuck in the mat when you try to pivot...sprawl hard on a guy's shoulder...etc. People who refuse to tap and break something is their own fault, that's different.
People always get the strangest injuries in chaotic fights. Friend of mine was in a bar room brawl in Europe after a football (soccer) match and managed to break his pinky finger.
