Oops. Sorry, wrong answer.
The radius is the shorter of the two bones of the forearm, or
lower arm.
This bone extends from the side of the elbow all the way down
to the thumb side of the hand.
The radius is also designed so that if you fall it will snap
so it absorbs most of the impact to
lessen the damage to more important parts of the body.
