How much force is behind the object acting upon the bone? A 22 cal. bullet can break a bone or like the man said before me, you can break it lifting weights of 400 lbs. It is said human bones can be 3 to 4 times stronger than concrete..

depends on the density of the bone and the strength of the muscles and ligaments around it.
(ie-my tibia can withstand a lot more weight and pressure than an 80 year old with osteoporosis)

This is dependent on many factors- whether or not the person was in good health, takes in adequate amounts of calcium, is ambulatory and walks to increase the strength of the legs, etc. No two persons bones are exactly alike, have the same strength or size.....

You might have Cesium in the bone and it would look broken in an X ray.

Well, my humerus broke with 400 lbs on my shoulders. Let me tell you, it about snapped right out of my skin. I was doing squats.

that all depends on what bond your talking about... breaking ur finger requires a lot less force than breaking ur neck... the same goes with ur ankle and ur femur.
