What percentage of children break their bones?

Answer 1

I couldn't find the EXACT percentage, but I found the leading causes of injuries and the number of cases treated in 2004.


A study published in the November/December 2001 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons identified four activities with the most injuries to bones and muscles. These are bicycle riding, basketball, football and roller sports. They cause about 1.5 million medically treated bone and muscle injures among children 5 to 14 years of age. And this number only includes injuries that require a doctor's care!

*Bicycle riding. The greatest number of recreational injuries to children occurs while the child is riding a bicycle. Most of these 415,000 injures are bruises (contusions). Broken arms and wrists are also common. There are more than 125,000 fractures among bicycle riders. Falling off the bike and colliding with a fixed object such as a wall or with another bicycle are the most common causes of injuries.

*Basketball. Basketball is the most popular team sport in high schools and the leading cause of all sports-related injuries. Each year, children aged 5 to 14 years have more than 407,000 muscle and bone injuries while playing basketball. Although boys and girls at this age have similar injury rates, the rate for knee injuries increases significantly for young women aged 15 years and older. Girls also have more ankle sprains than boys.

*Football. Football is a collision sport. Each year, doctors treat an estimated 389,000 musculoskeletal injuries due to football in children 5 to 14 years of age. More than 100,000 injuries involve a fracture, although sprains, strains, and bruises are also common.

*Roller sports. Roller sports include inline skating, skateboarding, scooters and roller skating. This category accounts for 297,000 medically treated musculoskeletal injuries among 5-to 14-year olds each year. More than 125,000 of these injuries involve broken bones, primarily among children under 10 years of age. Fractures due to skateboarding are more common among older children (11 to 14 years old). The forearm and the wrist are the most common fracture sites.

Hope I've helped!

Answer 2

Earthquakes and diseases are common things that happen throughout history, whether a book says anything about them or not is irrelevant. Now lets see a specific prophecy in the bible, you know, something that predicts a very specific event and a very specific timeline without any vague references. vague things like "there will be great earthquakes" are hardly prophecies.
