What does it mean if your rosary breaks off while its on your neck?
It simply means that you need to get a new one! - or repair the old one. The Rosary is simply an object and should not be venerated as anything special. It is simply an aid to prayer and, if God is the centre of your prayer (and He should be!) then the Rosary is unimportant and merely an object to help that prayer. Any special veneration of an inanimate object like a Rosary can lead to idolatry. Therefore, if your Rosary breaks, simply repair it or get a new one - or just pray to God without one as most Christians across the world do.
Why do christians need to have rosary when sick?
The Rosary is a devotion, a form of meditative prayer, that may be used at any time, and prayed either indivudally or in groups. It dates back to about the 13th century in medieval Europe. It is not specifically required or requested when someone is sick, but any prayer for healing is welcome. The Rosary is most commonly prayed by Catholic Christians, but it is neither exclusively Catholic nor is it required that Catholics pray the Rosary.

Why do people say it is a sin to wear a rosary?
The rosary intended to be used during prayer and meditation and not as jewlery. Someone who wears a rosary to have it handy to use in prayer or so it wouldn't get lost is fine. When I was a child, nuns would wear a rosary around their neck - but it was there for them to use in prayer/meditation and not as a fashion statement. Some people say it's a sin to wear a rosary because misusing a prayer tool as a fashioto make a fashipn statement is disrespectful.
Is the rosary idolatry?
Speaking as a non-Catholic: As an evangelical Anglican, I actually never use a rosary as an aid for prayer as this device is more in keeping with the Roman Catholic tradition, although I can very much see the use of such a device in prayer. The beads on the rosary represent various prayers and statements of faith, and, by 'saying' the rosary one can be sure that prayers are said without any being 'forgotten'. Idolatry is the worship of anything that is not God - be it a golden calf, a statue, or even your car, holiday home in the Seychelles, or the Lottery. I cannot imagine any Catholic 'worshipping' the rosary as an object in itself; the rosary is simply an aid to prayer which some Christians find useful, and, therefore, using it cannot be classed as idolatry. The only danger with the rosary is that, unless one makes a conscious effort to ensure that prayer comes from the heart, there is a temptation to 'go through the motions' in saying the rosary, so that prayer becomes mechanical and superficial. As long as the rosary is kept well in its place as an aid to personal, devotional and sincere prayer then there is nothing wrong with using it - and it is certainly not idolatrous - and, in fact, used in the right way it can enhance prayer a great deal.
