It can be quite serious. The so-called "heel bone", when broken, can cause a lot of pain, and prevent you from walking, so it can be a real life changer. It is, however, not fatal. I changed the original answer from calcanium which, if you really meant calcaneum is a protrusion from the tarsus extant in bird but not humans.
