Normally you blow a head gasket, when the engine overheats. They can also blow from incorrect installation or poor design.
Head gaskets expand and contract according to engine temperature, these cycles may, after a long period of time, cause the gasket to fail. If you're replacing the gasket, check the engine block, and head for warping. Follow proper cleaning and torque specifications during assembly.
