I would guess there also may be a difference between the two cases in that the force needed to break a leg wasn’t measured by compressing it, but by exerting force perpendicular to its length.
Even if it isn’t, there are so many ways to measure breaking strength that it’s unlikely the two cases are perfectly comparable.
- silisili 2y agoThis was my assumption. The original article implies parallel force, which I imagine has far higher limit than perpendicular. Eg trying to chop a 1x4 in half long ways probably takes quite a bit of force(and a touch of stupidity).
