  Like any solid structure, if a bone comes into contact with something that is harder than it, and a lot of force is applied to it, then the pressure will cause the bone to crack or break.

  Hi tommio. Bones crack when they become under force from something else. So if you fell over badly or ran into something hard, you may run the risk of cracking a bone.
