Is it normal that i think i have really strong bones?

While I was a kid, or younger teen, I did a lot of things that I feel would result in at least one broken bone, besides maybe a toe. But I have never had a broken bone. I've been in countless, literally countless bike wipeouts that leave me on the ground groaning in agony, but I always get up and realize I'm completely fine except for some soft tissue damage. I've been in countless sledding, snowboarding accidents too. Same old story.

I've sprained both knees, ankles, wrists. Each time I'm like, shit its probably broken, but it turns out its just a sprain. I've even hit my kneecap so hard that tissue separating the kneecap from the bones beneath it was completely crushed, but it did not result in a fracture of any kind. It did however form a cyst that eventually went away on its own.

I am a very skinny, bony person. My finger joints, elbows and knees don't really have that soft layer of fat over them, these areas of my body appear to be strait up skin and bone, which gives me a very fragile appearance. So I just don't understand why the ol'bones are so strong.

    i'm not sure it's your bones that are strong. people who easily sprain are usually very flexible which explains why that happens so much. now this is just a theory based on this fact but maybe they don't hurt their bones as often (the ones i know at least) because every time they injure themselves the body somehow wriggles and avoids greater impact offering little resistance. i can't help but wonder if that is the case... are you by any chance extremely flexible?
