You usually fall with out stretched hand. There are many types of fractures in that case including the fracture of the clavicle. The wave of shock pass along the fore arm and arm bones. It falls on the scapula. Scapula has got no bony attachment to the chest wall. So shock wave pass to the sternum via clavicle. At times the clavicle get fractured.

Is there any difference between hitting or tackling in American football?

Yes, there is a difference between hitting and tackling in American football. Hitting generally refers to a player making contact with an opponent without necessarily bringing them to the ground, often to disrupt a play. Tackling, on the other hand, involves a player wrapping their arms around an opponent to bring them to the ground, which is a fundamental defensive skill aimed at stopping the ball carrier. Both techniques are crucial, but tackling is more focused on stopping the play effectively.
