A member asked:

How does one break his or her collar bone while lifting weights?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: This is a very difficult question to answer shortly and with little info. If you are lifting really heavy weights, the stress to the bone could be too much and causes the bone to break. There could have been a stress reaction or weaking in the bone prior that increased the likelihood for injury.
