How many pounds of pressure does it take to break a jaw?

Answer 1

It takes 8 pounds of pressure per square inch to break somebody's jaw.

Answer 2

7lbs of pressure to break a collarbone

UPDATE: pressure is measured in units of psi (pounds force per square inch). It is the ratio of force to area which the force is distributed about. Therefore, answering this question as "7lbs" makes no sense whatsoever. I think perhaps what the corrects answer is from doing some quick research is, it take 7 lbs/SQUARE INCH (7 psi), to break a collar bone. Someone please correct the magnitude if wrong.

Answer 3

Rather a huge amount -- you'd be surprised. While giving you a lb/in2 number isn't practical, the skull is functionally a reinforced sphere, and tends to distribute kinetic shock surprisingly well. In real money: To split the skull: 5000N≡ 5000Pa

Answer 4

Well you know it depends. There is no certain amount of pressure that can break or crush your cranium. If you fall from a building pretty high up and land on your head, then that could easily crush your head. Even if you fall on your head the perfect way, you can hurt your cranium. Be careful when biking or Skateboarding or anythings. Make sure you wear a helmet every time to prevent life threatening injuries or even just bad ones. Better safe than sorry:) Hope this helps!
