The shock of hitting the ground with the hands travels up the arms, and hits the clavicle with enough force and the angle to fracture it. The impact usually damages something else before it gets that far, but the bones must have been aligned just so for the shock to travel up without damaging anything else on the way up.

Explain how hitting the ground with your hands can fracture the clavicle?
If you fall and hit the ground with your hands outstretched, the impact travels up your arms and into your clavicle. The force exerted on the clavicle from the impact can cause it to fracture due to the pressure and stress placed on the bone.
Why do i have Tingling in my fingers when i have just broken my clavicle Could i have broken my wrist too or is it a symptom of my broken clavicle?
Depending on the type of fracture, I would suggest some minor nerve damage in your wrist. How did the fractures occur? If it was a fall, you may have some awkward pressure or nerve damage to the spine or neck. To ensure thatit isn't anything to do with your spine, have someone hold your hands. Squeeze their hands as hard as you can at the same time. If they say the pressure is different, it may be a problem with your spinal cord. To double check, lay down. Have the person put their hands on the bottom of your feet. Push as hard as you can against their hands at the same time, then have them move their hands to on top of your feet. Pull as hard as you can against their hands. If the pressure is different, then it would probably be that. I doubt it would be to do with your clavicle fracture. Then again, this could be unnecessary info overload. Are you taking pain killers? If so, look to see if there is any side-effects, especially with any regular medications you may be taking already. Is the sensation in both hands or just one? Hope this helps. :D Please don't run the aforesaid resistance test until the clavicle is back in one piece. Yikes.

How do you break you wrist the easy way?
One frequent scenario that results in broken wrists is when the subject is running forward, trips, trys to protect the face with the hands, palms hitting the ground, and the body's center of gravity is carried forward of the pivot point of the wrists by the fall velocity, thus bending the wrist at a super-acute angle, resulting in sprain or fracture. I wouldn't call it "easy" but I would say it's a common fracture or sprain.
