For future reference, you FOOSH with one hand while trying not to spill the drink in the other.

But then you just give yourself a scaphoid fracture. Although there's a better chance of saving the drink.

Clavicular fractures I've treated have also had a FOOSH etiology. People who aren't practiced in falling techniques (unlike athletes, martial artists, parachutists ... etc.) have a tendency to lock their elbow and transmit the shock.

True. Which bone gives tends to depend on age, bone health, and as you say, falling technique.
