Why do you have a Stronger grip when the wrist is extended as compared to when the wrist is flexed?

It's about Strength Potential.
When your muscles contract and shorten to flex the wrist, they lose the potential to contract more, thus they lose the abililty to create a stronger grip past a certain level.
As grip is mostly a function of the muscles that flex, thus the more flexed your are, the less strength potential you have.

How does your wrist get broken in a car accident?
Most often the reason for a broken wrist or even both wrists to be broken in a car accident is because the natural reaction is to "brace!" A passenger puts both hands against the dashboard, then the impact forces the wrists into a hyper-extended position, which can break the small hand bones and break the wrist bones.
Are knuckles pushups better than normal push ups?
If you are referring to making your "knuckle bones" stronger, no, not directly. Performing any type of weight or resistance training will improve overall bone density and strength. So in an indirect way, your knuckle bones would get stronger ... but so would other bones. The primary benefit of performing pushups on your knuckles is that it avoids the traditional wrist flexion that you experience when you have your hands flat on the floor during a pushup. Bending the wrists back can be uncomfortable for some people, or lead to wrist injury. By performing them on your knuckles, you put the wrist in a non-flexed, neutral position, mitigating these risks. However, knuckle pushups are also uncomfortable for some people because there is very little flesh between the knuckles and skin. Over time, you may become less sensitive to it, but some people never do. If wrist flexion is a concern, you can always perform your pushups using pushup bars or something like the Perfect Pushup.
