bone-breaking
Skeletal damage inflicting
Bone-breaking describes force or impact severe enough to fracture bones: a bone-breaking fall, bone-breaking tackles.
The term emphasizes extreme physical intensity, whether literal or hyperbolic: bone-breaking labor.
In certain dance styles, bone-breaking refers to contortionist moves that create the illusion of impossible joint angles.
