Sorry but as I’ve said I’ve seen this same injury and exact same cause on 270 lb men with 2% body fat, you land wrong, you wind up creating a lever that puts pressure on the ankle/femur/foot that no human being is going to survive without a fracture. It’s basic physics, thinking bone density will make a difference is comical for this sort of fall/injury.

I didn’t say it couldn’t happen to men.

Greater numbers of women, percentage, will suffer this injury with the same type of ‘fall’ than men.

Biology is not a social construct.

“the authors emphasize that, anatomically and physiologically,
women are not the same as men; lower extremity biomechanical differences between men and women may account for gender differences
in training injury rates. Women have increased pelvic width, forefoot
pronation, heel valgus angulation, pes planus, external tibial torsion,
and femoral anteversion. Additionally, because of the estrogen influence,
women have less lean body mass and greater ligamentous laxity.”

Biology is not a social construct.
