But if the pressure is too much, or too sudden, bones can snap. you can break a bone by falling off a skateboards or crashing down from the monkey bars. when a bone breaks its called a __fracture.__ - The difference between a fracture and a break is: a Frature is when you kind of sprane it but you didn't completly snatch it apart. And a break is when your bone completely breaks in half.  A way to treat a break is wrap it in tape and call it a cast but make sure you have cushion underneath and leave it on for less then a month.
