The femur is the strongest and longest bone of the human body and therefore is believed by many to be the hardest bone to break. However, some believe that the hardest bone to break is the Anvil, one of the small, tiny bones in the human ear (Although the validity of this assumption has been debated before). This is accepted in some cases because "hardest" can have two meanings, the first as in strength and durability and the second as in difficulty. So, depending on how you interpret "hard", the answer can vary. Interesting enough, because the Femur is so difficult to break, its fractures can also be the most serious.

I've broke my collar bone befor by my brother by body slaming me into the ground, he weighed like 60 LB more than me, I was crying for at least 10 minutes, then I went downstairs to go tell my step dad while he's on the computar that I think i broke my bone, he said that I didn't because I wouldv'e been crying really bad, so I decided to go try to lay down my bed which is 3 FT taller than me, I was thinking to myself that I WAS crying really bad, how would he know about cause he was downstairs on the computar in his little own world, so I waited till my real dad came pick me up casue I go to his house on wedsdays, when he did pick me up, it was really hard to buckle up, I told him what happened then after that he took me to the hospital to get my x-rays done, I did break it, so yeah, thats m story when I was in 2nd grade, about 4 1/2 yrs ago, so yeah.......I think your inner ear is the hardest bone to break, I have never heard of someone breaking the inner ear.....

The stapes,anvil and malleus are the three inner ear bones and will not break even from a 20 story fall. I'm pretty sure the femur would.

I think the easiest is the collar bone. I've broken it and it snapped like a twig. The hardest bone to break because of it's location and thickness might be the thigh bone.

I would say the femur bone, it's one of the strongest bones in the body, but the muscles and ligaments it's connected to are another story...
