If proper CPR involves compressing the chest so much such that the ribcage might break - doesnt that breakage risks a bone puncturing the heart?

    You do in fact break bones if you’re doing it right. Think of it this way, if you’re doing CPR, the patience is already dead, nothing’s worse than death, so bringing them back in whatever condition is going to be better than what condition they’re already in, which I may remind you, is death
