My sister used to be a paramedic, and she told me that in their training they learned to do CPR on plastic dummies. When she finally got on the job and had to do CPR for the first time on a live person, it was an elderly lady. To my sister's surprise, on the first compression of the lady's chest, she said she could feel what seemed like almost every one of the lady's ribs breaking. It was pretty shocking.
I took first aid/cpr classes from the Red cross every 2-3 years for my job. I switched jobs and took a class from an emergency responder. He said if you’re doing it right, you’re probably going to hear bones crack. I told him that in 20 years of classes, he was the first person to ever mention that. I would have honestly probably have stopped if I heard bones cracking before I took his course. That’s an important point to leave out.
