7 Easiest Bones to Break Safely and Painlessly

Whether the curiosity or some weird intention brought you here, we will consider some of the easiest bones to break safely and painlessly. At least we worry about your safety.

There are 206 bones in the body of a grown-up human. We are born with 270 of them, but during the time we grow up, bones fuse and become more compact, reaching the highest density at the age of around 30 years. That is why bones in children (and elderly) break so easily and sometimes without even realizing it. Some of you might relate to this.

Now, let’s be honest here. No bone will break painlessly. Thus before you proceed to whatever your intentions are concerning your bones, make sure you have in mind the 6 Easiest Ways to Get Prescribed Pain Pills. So, yea, it is not that much on how painful will it be to break a bone but how fast will it heal and with which consequences. Although there are many examples of people breaking the bone not even realizing it (even the bones that would usually hurt, like ribs for example) breaking a bone is a very painful thing, since bones are the main support for the musculature and internal organs.

So, to summarize, some of the easiest bones to break safely and painlessly (compared to the rest) are the smallest, peripheral ones easily mobilized. So if you are having doubts thinking how to break your knuckle without pain or, say, how to break an arm in my bedroom, knuckle would probably be a better choice.

There are many ways how to purposely break a bone. Moreover, there are also the best ways to break your arm, but here we will not give ideas, because we have already discussed this topic, so you can check out the 6 Easiest Ways to Break Your Finger, Hand, or Wrist with Little Pain.

Our research included the questions such as which is least painful bone to break, which is the easiest bone to break yourself, the easiest bone to break in your foot and what are the safe ways to do this. As guessed, we did not get much information from the professionals (i.e., doctors), but rather from people with similar ideas and experiences. That is why we relied on the answers from forums such as Quora, Reddit or Yahoo Answers.

Don’t try this at home! Or, well, since you are here you probably will, so let’s see which the easiest bones to break safely and painlessly are:

7. Clavicle

Clavicle or the collarbone is one of the most frequently broken bones. Especially in children, while in adults it represents the 5% of all bone fractures. It is usually broken by twisting the shoulder or falling. The proper healing would include immobilization of the shoulder followed by physical therapy afterward.

6. Knuckle

Breaking knuckle is not a nice feeling. The pain is usually immediate (as in most breakages) followed by swelling and bruising. Nevertheless, breaking a knuckle isn’t a hard thing, although it can be very unpleasant (aren’t all the breakages on this matter), and you would need some recovery time to get your hand as functional as before.

5. Nose

Noses are pretty easily broken. Just imagine any blow in the face: vehicle accidents, falling down, playing sports (most commonly boxing, basketball, hockey for example), or, maybe having a fight in a pub. Nose fractures do not necessarily have to be so severe and include pain around the nose, stuffed nose, bruising, swelling, or feeling of rubbing. So, the nose is one of the easiest bones to break safely and painlessly.

4. Ankle

It is enough only to make a wrong step and to stretch your ankle, or even to break it. Still, being one of the easiest bones to break safely and painlessly, it would probably be a pain in the ass having the cast and not being able to walk normally for the time the ankle needs to heal.

3. Finger

Finger bones are very easy to hurt, dislocate or break, especially if you have a manual job like construction work or something like that, or are doing some sport like climbing for example. So, breaking finger is easy whether it’s intentional or unintentional.

2. Wrist

Wrists are one of the bone joints easily broken like the ankle. Wrists are commonly broken in falls because people usually tend to land on their hands (which is better than to have a broken skull for example).

1. Toe

Regarding the safety and time needed to heal and the overall consequences of the broken bone, toe would be the best choice of the easiest bones to break safely and painlessly. Broken toes are also one of the most frequent (unintentional) broken bones, usually broken by dropping some heavy object on your foot. Luckily, treatment of such breakage is usually fast.
