Can a person really break someone's legs by sitting on their lap?

Question

I am having this debate with a friend. We have probably all heard someone say "Oh no, I would break your legs." or something like that when offerd a lap to sit on. But, is it really possible?

Is your answer based on opinion, or do you have evidence or experience to support it?

Answer 1

Only my opinion but if someone weighs 350lbs. it might happen.

Answer 2

If that person is REALLY heavy, he/she just could. I would offer you evidence but I haven't heard of anyone foolish enough to sacrifice their legs to prove this. Just like this theory that says that people who jump off a building, die half way before they reach the ground. Well, I'm still waiting for someone to prove that.

Answer 3

I suspect that the breaking of someones legs would be secondary to any failing furniture...

If you are 15st and you have a 15st "roly-poly-gram" in your lap, then the chair would collapse and you might break a bone when you hit the floor and the "roly-poly-gram" lands too...

Answer 4

Answer 5
