Next time you’re lying on the operating table, just remember: someone in a lab coat already stressed about your stress. They ran the math while eating a sad sandwich and decided your implant should survive a minor car crash, just in case. So when you wake up with a new piece of metal inside you, don’t worry. Just smile, nod, and promise to treat it nicely.
And if you ever feel the urge to test its yield strength? Maybe just stick to watching MythBusters reruns. Your safety factor will thank you.
