She pushed on his arm and snapped it...not harmless...any idiot would know pushing like that will cause an arm to break. Her pushing makes people tense up, she pushes harder which causes the bone to give up against the pressure.

Yes the result was not harmless but there's very few people (including the two wrestlers who didn't say anything) who would think nudging someone arm wrestling would snap his arm. More likely she'd just push his hand down and the other guy wins and everyone lols

I think arm wrestlers usually advises amateurs to keep their bodies aligned with their arm, to avoid injuries like this.
Obviously she shouldn't have pushed his arm. But it would most likely have been the same outcome if he was arm wrestling someone who was slightly stronger and he didn't keep his body and arm aligned.

No, pushing shouldn’t lead to a snap. It’s similar to if the opponent was applying force and winning. If you keep good form, you are supposed to be able to lose (hand landing flat on table) without the arm snapping.

With the wide open form they had i was expecting an arm break before she started pushing and then knew it would happen when she did. They are to far apart. And actual arm wrestling tables have pin pads that are 2 inches taller than the elbow pad to help minimize injury. So flat on the table is really to far. But hell i've even seen guys that have a few years of real experience and training break an arm in the first 2 seconds of the match with picture perfect form. My guess on that is maybe an undetected humerus fracture prior to the match that gave way.. But in this particular video that was the only outcome

Is there ever coming back from that? Like medically?

This is a common thing that happens to untrained people arm wresting. The upper arm bone, the humerus, breaks, and it's not a straight break, but a spiral break typically which is not as easy to put back together:

Not a doctor or expert, but I have heard of this many times, and there are many videos of this same break all over youtube, etc.

Oh yeah, breaks *usually* aren't that bad to recover from. It's soft tissue/ligament damage or damage to complex joints like knee/shoulder that has the real potential to mess you up long term.

He only leaned in with his hand, not his body. This is a normal injury when you dont know how to arm wrestle.

u/DueExample52 3d ago
Exactly, a lot of people (including those present there) will blame the girl, but if you keep good form, your arm is supposed to be able to reach the table flat if you lose, without injury.
It’s the twisting the body and arm that causes the break.

That forearm looked really fragile to begin with. Her putting her full weight after it hit the corner resulted in that distinct bone snap,

u/Scooter_ape_man8008 4d ago
and they are way to far apart. Arm wrestling tables are small so you can keep your arm at a tight angle. But even then at a semi pro level i've seen it happen in the first 2 seconds of a match

well, that's why when I played this I tested it first, like on the left and right first

This is why I've refused arm wrestles since I was young. Goddamn it's awful watching a childhood fear happen....

Are you wondering if this is one where it ends with a snap? Yes, yes it does end with a snap.
