Sled down the stairs and out the front door like in Home Alone. My stairs didn’t perfectly line up so I hit the edge and went tumbling. luckily at 7 my bones were made of rubber and I only had bruises
I was just thinking about this. I’m in my 40’s and it feels like I now break a rib if I sneeze hard, and I was wondering whether I’m actually “less durable” nowadays than I was when I was younger
Actually,yes.
Kids bones are less rigid/more flexible. (And younger kids don’t even have some bones to begin with -patellae-/they aren’t fused together yet -skull-)
And of course you have more weight and a longer “lever” to break things.

The stairs in the movie don’t line up either. Always bothered me.

You have to consider the square cube law.
Weight scales far quicker than bone strength.
And also kids are 24/7 running around and doing something for their fitness if they are allowed to.
Most adults don’t do that.
Ever seen what happens to a rubber band that’s been sitting unused in a drawer for 5 years? Same thing.

Kevin should have rolled down the stairs in a tire instead. I bet that would actually work.
