Wacking Tyrannosaurs



Given the latests talk about Big Al injuries, it raises up a question from me. Is it possible that Tyrannosaurids could take more wacking in general then other theropod due to the idea that their bones (not the limbs though) tended to be more heavily built and massive (at least in the brusier Tyrannosaurids) plus the fact that Tyrannosaurid skeletons indicate a life surviving pretty nasty injuries, even for an active, fast moving theropod. T.rex "Stan" even survived braincase penetrations and a broken neck. In that case, is there a possibility that Tyrannosaurs could take more wacking before being out of wack? (no pun intended)
