The Bizarre Secret Behind People Who’ve Never Broken a Bone—What Science Isn’t Telling You

Ever wonder what mysterious force is shielding some people from the glorious, inevitable snap of a broken bone? I mean, if you grew up tumbling through playgrounds or channeling your inner rebel, a shattered limb was practically a badge of honor—right? Yet here we are, scrolling TikTok, where a conspiracy-hungry creator insists those lucky few who’ve never endured the agony of a break might actually be cruising through life with divine insurance. Is it just dumb luck, good sense, or could there be cosmic karma at play protecting these untouchables? As someone who’s somehow dodged every break and crack (knock on wood), I’m skeptical—but oh, the theories are deliciously bizarre. Ready to dive down the rabbit hole of spiritual protection, karma points, and past life perks? LEARN MORE.

A TikTok creator has shared some weird theories about people who have never broken a bone.

If you’ve grown up playing sport of any kind or generally just spent time being a menace, then breaking a bone is almost a rite of passage, especially for young kids. It’s remarkably easy to do at times, whether it’s stubbing your toe really hard or slipping when you’re out and about.

Most would probably put it down to luck, and perhaps how sensible we are, given the horrific injuries we see when people don’t take care when riding a motorcycle or going skiing, for example.

However, one content creator on TikTok, who is known for sharing conspiracy theories and has probably gone down more rabbit holes than Alice in Wonderland, reckons that everyone who has avoided breaking a bone in their lives thus far might actually have some sort of divine protection.

Now, I speak from experience, in that I’ve never broken a bone, and while I’d love these theories to be true, I reckon it’s more just good luck and avoiding the sorts of things that generally lead to broken bones, such as jumping from high places or starting fights.

But, for those of you who are interested in spiritual theories, then Sara’s Weird World has shared three which most definitely explain why you, or your lucky mate, have never broken a bone.

Spiritual protection

Sara (@sarasweirdworld) says: “Apparently there is a spiritual reason to why people have never broken a bone.

“That’s because they are protected by spiritual protection. Almost untouchable in a weird sense. Protected by the higher powers.”

Well, I’m honoured but just because someone hasn’t broken a bone doesn’t make them untouchable.

You’d rather have a broken finger than something more life-threatening after all.

Good karma

Again, as someone who’s avoided breaking a bone, I’d love this one to be true.

Sara says: “The theory is that these types of people possess good karma, which they’ve earned by doing actions and kind deeds.

“This protects the individuals from coming to any harm.”

Again, I’d like to point out that not breaking any bones does not necessarily mean someone hasn’t come to any harm.

Past life experiences

Finally, Sara takes a theory straight from the religious belief of reincarnation, which suggests that people who have struggled a lot in past lives are more likely to enjoy good luck in their reincarnated self.

She says: “It is said that those people in this life who have never broken a bone may have experienced significant trauma in a past life. So, the theory suggests that they are being spared from having similar experiences in this life.”

So, there you have it, if you’ve never broken a bone congratulations, you clearly have great karma.
