Why have I never broken any of my bones in my life?

Question

When I was 2 years old, I fell out of a 2nd story window...
Compare the 20 or 30 or so feet of the second story back window of a South Philly rowhouse.. to about the 3 feet of a two year old kid..
And the concrete, vs the utter lack of physical maturity of a two year old.

When I was 10..
I was on a school bus that is now illegal for safety reasons..

I was kicked in the face by a 16 year old mental patient, wearing steel toe boots...
I didn't break any bones.

I was hit by a truck, on my bicycle...
I didn't break any bones..

I was in a bad crash on my bike...
Over the handlebars, face planted on the asphalt..
I didn't break any bones.

I was bit by a Rottweiler.. 
And this is a bad bite.. bad day..

I got it off me by shooting it in the head.

I didn't break any bones..

I crashed a rental scooter, one of those veorides..
25 mph downhill...

Didn't break any bones.

Bones are generally pretty sturdy you have to hit them at the right angle and with enough force to do it.  I have broken both of my feet in the same place at different times by doing things i’ve done hudreds of times.  My left side i was attempting something that i’ve never fully done and now i know why it’s never done (it can not be done alone).  And the right side i was walking and stepped on a loose brick i did not know was loose (walking is what i’m used to, not loose bricks)
