I broke both of my clavicles at different times, and didn't get my hands out for either one. It's just how you land on it. The last time (7 or 8 years ago) was just a slight fracture with no displacement, but I also tore the AC that day, so that still sucks, even years later some days (and that's my good shoulder now). When the x-ray tech was getting his shots, he came around the camera and got right in front of me and asked if my left shoulder didn't also feel like something was broken...I said, "oh, broke that one in '94"...apparently it didn't heal very well just using an x-brace and no PT. Might be why I have arthritis, bone spur, impingement and nerve issues in that shoulder lately, too.
