Sled down the stairs and out the front door like in Home Alone. My stairs didn't perfectly line up so I hit the edge and went tumbling. luckily at 7 my bones were made of rubber and I only had bruises
The stairs in the movie don't line up either. Always bothered me.

I was just thinking about this. I'm in my 40's and it feels like I now break a rib if I sneeze hard, and I was wondering whether I'm actually "less durable" nowadays than I was when I was younger
You have to consider the square cube law.
Weight scales far quicker than bone strength.
And also kids are 24/7 running around and doing something for their fitness if they are allowed to.
Most adults don't do that.
Ever seen what happens to a rubber band that's been sitting unused in a drawer for 5 years? Same thing.

Actually,yes.
Kids bones are less rigid/more flexible. (And younger kids don't even have some bones to begin with -patellae-/they aren't fused together yet -skull-)
And of course you have more weight and a longer "lever" to break things.
Kevin should have rolled down the stairs in a tire instead. I bet that would actually work.
