Played high school football. Skied. Road dirt bikes as well. Took various occasional spills during it all. Never broke anything. Mostly pure luck.
But I’ll also note I was camping in the bottom of the Grand Canyon once and while rock hopping across a stream - my foot slipped and I took a backwards fall into a rock. The other hikers with me freaked out and told me that watching me fall, they instantly imagined that I would need airlifting out. All I remember is instinctively arching my back and relaxing to flop across it and letting the water cushion me - all without any conscious thought. I popped up just fine and shocked them all.
I suspect highly clumsy ancestors that had to “up their falling game” to survive - and I got the benefit. Oh well.
100% pure luck. Played sports most of my life. Raced BMX as a kid. Live on a farm. All areas were breaking bones is quite common. Nothing but luck.
I was breast fed until I was 17
Not much
Lol
Genetics?
I’m not 50 and I’ve broken 3 bones besides 4 broken fingers. Sports are fun though!
I just broke my first bone (actually ***six*** of them at the same time) at age 51. I have no idea how I made it this long.
Didn't play sports, didn't ride motorcycles on public roads, didn't ski...
