Well, first off, your marrow cavity is where blood is made. Without fresh blood, your immune system would crash, and, in the case of an accident, your body could not restore lost blood. Secondly, a fractured bone is much more painful than a bone with a clean break. If the marrow cavity was gone, then more fractures would occur than breaks would.
