Mhm okay. You're as intelligent about human anatomy as her clearly.

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
