Bones Beat Steel Human bones contain more strength than steel. Pound for pound, bone wins every comparison. Bone tissue has tensile strength of 150 MPa. Steel manages only 50 MPa per equivalent weight. Bones combine calcium and collagen fibers perfectly. They bend instead of breaking under pressure. Your skeleton outperforms construction materials.
