I call bullshit on hearing ribs crack too broke 4 ribs and punctured a lung one time and never heard it and I was right there and another time broke 2 and never heard it both times on rides too busy falling to hear it
I'm talking from an esthetic point of view I had a 83 Honda accord that had 690k miles on it when I sold when I left CA if I had brought it back to PA it probably would've turned to dust in 3 years lol
