How much weight is needed to break a bone in your foot?!


Question: I have a homework question about how much weight could break a bone in your foot. Ok well I'm doing my homework and the question is asking "How much weight can be applied to the bone for it to break?" My teacher told us to find the weight for a child. So.. how much weight could be dropped on a CHILD'S metatasal to make it break?
Thank you! :)

well I dropped a 200+ pound dirtbike along with a metal ramp on the top of my foot with flip flops on ( I know it was dumb but I was helping unload the bike at 2am) and thought for sure I broke my foot... Luckily I didn't but I did chip the bone and have bone fragments in my foot. I don't think it is the weight of the object but the force behind the injury.
