Clavicular fractures I've treated have also had a FOOSH etiology. People who aren't practiced in falling techniques (unlike athletes, martial artists, parachutists ... etc.) have a tendency to lock their elbow and transmit the shock.

True. Which bone gives tends to depend on age, bone health, and as you say, falling technique.
