The simplest way to break a bone is to apply enough force on it, until it cannot hold. In other words, if you hit it hard enough, it will break.

If there is a sudden large amount of pressure on a bone it may break. This can be from as little as a hairline fracture to a fracture where the bone has snapped in two.

There are various types and pattern of fractures. It may be:

Closed, open, splintered, dispaced

Transverse, spiral, oblique, greenstick, compression are patterns of fracture

Why is it more likely for an adult to fracture a bone than a child?

Because children's bones are softer and therefore will bend further before actually breakingA child suffers a greenstick fracture because young children have soft bones in which they bend and partially break. The reason why an adult wouldn't suffer a greenstick fracture is because bones in the human skeletal system become calcified (harder) and more breakable with age.When you are a child, all of the body's bones are new, so are more soft and durable. Adult's bones are old, so are more brittle and stiff.
