Amazing Facts About Human Skeleton Bones
May 24th, 2008
There are 206 bones in the human body. This is a factoid that everyone should be aware of. And while we’re actually born with close to 100 more, many fuse together as we develop. But how strong are human skeleton bones? Well, according to my martial arts teacher, they’re comparable to iron, but less rigid. This is amazing if you ask me. Check out some of the feats that humans accomplish with their bone strength and mind power. I had the pleasure of watching a martial arts breaking competition live a few years back. These self-defense experts were breaking everything from 2/4s, to coconuts, to stacks of cinder blocks. You have to admit that’s pretty remarkable to say the least.
