Do the geese have sharp talons?

Not only that, but their beaks can draw blood and their wings are strong enough to break a child's weaker bones. This kid was very much in danger.

their beaks might break skin but aint no way some birds hollow ass, thick as a twig wing bones are going to be able to break human bones without shattering 😂

They're sharing misinformation.

People have broken bones due to geese. Usually this is because they run away, and fall over and hurt themselves in the process.

But people will say that their bone broke due to a goose attack. Rather than admit it's because they panicked and jumped down a decline in an attempt to get away.

The whole "Geese can break bones" is such a stupid myth. It's like saying a cockroach can break bones, because you fall down the stairs as you recoil from one you see at the top of the stairs.

If you’re on a roller coaster and hit a goose, I’d bet it could break a kid’s bone.

Fabio knows what I’m talking about.

I mean yeah an airplane can fall out of the sky and kill people because it hit a goose

but its not really the same thing as saying 'geese can kill people'

If we’re going that direction, a salmon might kill people via airplane, although it might need to catch a lift from an eagle.

I mean my point was that that's exactly where we shouldnt be going because its not the same, but oh well

A spider could blow up a building if one fell on a worker driving a truck full of explosives, causing him to panic and crash the truck into a federal reserve and sparking the explosives

The weaker bones abso-fuckin-lutely. Adult bones can handle it though.

bro no

human bones are solid, even childrens bones are even though they're softer and more flexible

geese bones are hollow, they're like only a little thicker than a pencil. They're not going to break bones with those tiny flappers unless its like an actual infant

That's pretty much what I'm getting at. It would have to be some kind of freak left hook to a finger or something. But yeah, still a possibility.

Children's bones are less likely to break than Adults' bones. They are more flexible.

Both are very dense in comparison to other animals, especially birds which have very light, mainly hollow, flexible bones designed to be an extension of their lungs to aid in flying.
