I’m guessing you haven’t played too long. Strings break. It just happens, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you did something wrong or that the string was bad. Sometimes it’s just unavoidable, although changing tuning on a string can cause it to fatigue, and lead to breakage. Folks who regularly play in different tuning, sometimes get different guitars to leave in each tuning.
I must say though, that back in the day, our six string, flat-top players always put new strings on before a gig, and they still usually broke a string or two each night. This was before Barcus-Berry or any other acoustic pickup, and they were playing pretty hard.
