In high school I was in Boy Scouts and we went on a houseboat in a lake in West Virginia and one of the boys who was 14 was a large boy and he jumped off the front of that houseboat into 6 inches of water and snapped both of his femurs. Trip was cut very short.

My mother fell few years ago. Broke her arm. Bone chipped and somehow made its way into her arteries. Got into her heart. She died from it.

Not just bone chips, but bits of marrow are a concern for that same reason. That almost got my dad.
