How can a bone withstand 1000 pounds without breakng?
The shape of long bones, which includes a cylindrical shaft and enlarged ends, helps distribute forces evenly along the bone's length. This design allows for better absorption and dissipation of impact or stress, making the bone less susceptible to breaking. Additionally, the bone's compact outer shell and spongy inner structure provide strength and flexibility to resist fractures.
If you fall and hit the ground with your hands outstretched, the impact travels up your arms and into your clavicle. The force exerted on the clavicle from the impact can cause it to fracture due to the pressure and stress placed on the bone.
Compact Bone in macroscopic appearance looks solid and dense. Spongy bone in macroscopic appearance looks poorly organized. compact bone in microscopic structure is riddled with passage ways that serve as conduits for nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. Spongy bone is microscopic structure; the trabaculae in spongy bone align precisely along lines of stress and help the bone resist stress as much as possible. Location of compact bone in the outer layer of short, flat and irregular bones and also in the diaphysis of long bones. Spongy bone location; in the inside of short, flat and irregular bones and also in the epihyses of long bones.
A lateral stress placed on a bone (e.g. on Nicole's left tibia and fibula) actually causes (A) compression of the bone on the side of impact and (B) stretching (tearing) on the side opposite of the impact.

Bones benefit from stress. It makes them grow stronger, as long as the stress is not sufficient to break them, of course.

There is no particular part of a bone that is prone to breaking. It's more a matter of the type of injury.
A bone spur is a growth of additional bone on top of normal bone. They usually form when the bone repair process is activated over a long time due to pressure, rubbing, or physical stress on the bone over a period of time.

This is because the weight that bears down on the bone is off center and bends it. Bending compresses the bone on one side and subjects it to stretching on the other. However, both forces are minimal towards the center so the structure of the bone is not compromised.
