What cords are we talking about here? I mean, what brand?
Aside from that, cords don't just 'self destruct'...they break because you dorked with them in some way to cause that to happen. If you're jumping around while playing and yanking the cord in the jack, it will break, no matter what cord you're using. Either get a longer cord, jump around closer to your amp so there's slack, or loop your cord around your amp handle a few times so if you pull the cord, it'll pull your amp over before putting stress on the jack.
ps. Depending on the cord maker, you might have a lifetime warranty and can take it back to the store for a new one.

best thing you can do is wrap or loop your cord around somehtin gbefore plugging into the head. that helps you not get disconnected either.
in most cases i do this by looping my cord thru one of the handles on my cabinet. i've also looped thru the handle on my poweramp, but i prefer the cabinet handle route as it's much less likley that the cab will get toppled over than the power amp get pulled off the cab.
