Reply to comment by SaxyOmega90125 in TIFU by throwing my wife. by TwoPintsNoneTheRichr

I was actually a little worried about something like an occult cancer (fortunately nothing obvious on imaging). From a force perspective it's not actually that difficult from a pounds/square inch perspective. She weighs ~180 lbs and I threw her ~4 feet or so onto the bed with the vast majority of that force being transmitted through the heel of my palms. I'm also a relatively strong guy (can bench ~300lbs or plus force generated through my legs for the extra oomph).

Oh, you threw her in feet? Okay, I was thinking you walked up to the bed and tossed her down, not that you chucked her clean across the room.

I'm still a bit surprised that broke ribs though - I mean, even a full-force punch specifically intended to cause injury isn't usually going to do that, typically takes a clean and strong kick at least - so I'm still wondering about a calcium or vitamin K deficiency. Consider getting vitamin tabs of those.

I’m guessing the force was applied at an upward angle on the ribs, and not directly forward like a ouch would. The ribs would not be built for that application
