Once you learn how fragile they are you will have no more problems because you have learned your lesson.

With all this hydrometer breakage posting, I'm just about scared enough to go buy a spare next time I hit the LHBS. Knock on wood...8 batches with no breakage.
Well I guess you need a six-pak of hydrometers then.

I was with a fellow while he was brewing a few weeks ago. At the very end of the cleanup, he broke his hydrometer. Since he was brewing in front of the LHBS, I mentioned that I knew where he could get another one. He replied, simply: I break so many hydrometers that my wife got tired of hearing about it and bought me a case of the things. I still have a few more at home."
