I thought that I saw something about this on the Discovery Channel a long time ago. I brought it up to my coworkers and they thought that I was crazy. I couldn't find anything online to back it up; so this is my last resort.I have heard that your bones liquify is you fall from great heigths; is this true?
A fall from greater than 3 times your height is considered to have enough force behind it to fracture a bone. Since the bone cell (matrix) is a solid matter, it is not likely to convert to a liquid state with an acute increase in force (i.e., a fall). Possibly the immersion of the bone in moisture, or low pressure over a long period of time? In any case, a bone will not turn to a liquid state secondary to the impact from an acute blow or fall. It's just not chemically possible. Hope this helps!I have heard that your bones liquify is you fall from great heigths; is this true?
