The individual may have a genetic predisposition to weaker or more porus bones, therefore violent contractions of the thoracic cavity could in some extreme cases create enough stress to cause breakage. This does occur in individuals with level 4 or higher brittle bone disease.

Is it a cracked rib if a deep cough causes sharp pain in lower left back where bruise was inflicted by a fall?
A rib fracture is a crack or break in one of the bones of the rib cage. A break in the thick tissue (cartilage) that connects the ribs to the breastbone may also be called a fractured rib, even if the bone itself is not broken. The most common cause of a fractured rib is a direct blow to the chest, often from a car accident or a fall. Coughing hard can also fracture a rib. This is more likely to happen if you have a disease that has made your bones weak, such as osteoporosis or cancer. It is important to see a doctor after a rib injury. A blow that is hard enough to fracture a rib could also injure your lungs, spleen, blood vessels, or other parts of your body.
