That's ridiculous!!! You can put 7 lbs of force on your clavicle with one hand while sitting in a chair.
Let me do some quick research.....
Look here:
Experimental and computational investigation of human clavicle resp... - PubMed - NCBI
The test to failure shows the average clavicle to break at an average maximum force of 1159+/-133 N. That would be 261 lbs +/- 30 lbs.
That makes much more sense.
