Steel is actually denser than bone hence the denting. Talking about strong, you need to put these in consideration.

1.The more you work on bones, the stronger they get unlike the steel, it gets weaker.

2.The bone has a crack-healing mechanism unlike steel


3. It is more flexible

Peace grin

its totally right
wot u fail to consider in both scenarios is the thickness. if u hit a bone with the same thickness as the steel u hit the bone will not even have a dent( using the same force of course)

have u also heard that a spider web is stronger than a steel. ordinary using a lay man's thinking it looks plausible but in actual fact when u compare both materials with the same thickness side by side spider web will always comes out stronger
in fact spider web is one of the strongest natural carbon fibre

Oga, firstly I did graduate with a B.Sc so i fully understand what you mean by the strenght of the natural carbon fibre in a spider's web..no need to start forming lord of intelligent minds here. Secondly, relax a lil. Not every post here is meant to attack anybody, just try to get a small sense of humor. Finally, hope you know that not all spider webs are stronger than concrete sha?
