Not just Gibsons,, any guitar with a set neck and that back angle with the head stock is vulnerable, it's literally the Achilles heel and Gravity is not your friend.
I know a few techs that say fixing these breaks is probably the biggest single source of income they have. And most are 100% fixable. The best bet if this happens to you, is just find someone who's been in the bizz for a while, chances are, they've fixed dozens of them before.
I have 6 Gibsons, a few of them have some years on them, knock on wood, none of them have ever had to have a headstock repaired.
