My cousins 3 year old DD has suffered a broken leg a few days ago. Apparently this happened whilst at nursery. Nursery report that she ran really fast into a table. Aibu to not believe this at all? I can’t imagine running and banging her leg into a table would result in a fracture? They have chosen to the believe the nursery’s version of events but to me it doesn’t seem likely

My kid fractured his leg by jumping off a low stool. Didn't even land particularly badly.. spiral fracture of the tibia.

Do they have a "Toddler's fracture" ? It is a common stable fracture of the lower shin bone in young children caused by low impact trauma

it would be a greenstick fracture, or may be not but their bones are not as hard as adults.

I know someone who fractured their arm tripping over their own feet on a flat surface

My two year old fractured his leg turning round in the garden. I was standing next to him.

I think the doctor who viewed the X-ray and treated her would be able to determine whether that version of events is consistent with the injury.

And yes it is possible to fracture a bone from something like that.

I knew a kid who rolled off the couch (which was quite low) onto the floor and fractured his arm because of the way he landed on it.

It depends what kind of fracture- some kinds could be caused by that

Do they have cameras? Doesn't sound right.

Something similar happened to a child I know. Not at nursery though, and the parents witnessed it. But sure enough, the leg was fractured
