      I don’t know for sure but I’ll probably say your ankle or arm because they are more at risk from doing so much work all the time.

      As I do a lot of martial arts I can give a go at this. It takes roughly 7 pounds of pressure per square inch to break the collar bone, which is the lowest number I have heard. However! this is not the easiest thing to break. Your toes are! in particular you little toe, they break all the time and we never really notice. If you stub your toe really hard by accident and it hurts a little while chances are you broke your toe! But not to worry there is no need to go to the Dr. if you leave the toe it will heal on its own.

      Your little toe!

      This is the most common bone to get broken.

      Have you ever broken a bone?

      I guess there are two ways I can answer this! The collarbone is the most commonly broken bone but the bones in fingers and toes are most easily broken 🙂
