My kid's best friend just broke her femur... 5 years old, jumped off a park bench, landed cleanly on her feet and somehow broke the femur right in the middle of it. Weirdest thing ever.

I broke my femur in half in 2009- junior year of high school. It was the stupidest way to break anything let alone the largest bone in the body. I was in the first basketball practice of the season and was running a certain direction when I realized I was supposed to be running the other direction. When I went to change directions, being a clumsy 6’2” teenager, I started tripping over my self. I stumbled forward, did a somersault, and when I landed I heard a “SNAP!!” Sound which reverberated quite well off our concrete walls. Next thing I knew I was in the floor screaming I broke my leg. After surgery and like six months of healing. I was back on my feet and it’s been my strongest leg since. Currently squatting in the mid 300s and no sign of another break yet
