Reply to comment by SaxyOmega90125 in TIFU by throwing my wife. by TwoPintsNoneTheRichr
1500 lbs / 24 broken ribs = 62.5 lbs/broken rib
125 lbs wife / 62.5 lbs/broken rib = 2.0 wife ribs broken
edit: 180 lbs wife / 62.5 lbs/broken rib = 2.88 wife ribs broken (round down for actual fracture count)

You caught a slight typo - I meant 1500lbs shock force to break a rib. Obviously the size of the object is an issue but iirc that assumption uses something about the size/radius of a car's headlight corner area which is similar to a human hand.
Also your math is assuming sustained force, not shock force. By your numbers she would break ribs leaning over a chair.
