The Court held the November 14, 1995 fracture was caused by an external force (impact with a chair arm) and therefore met the statutory definition of an 'accident'; the claimant's pre-existing susceptibility (osteolysis) did not negate that the incident was a separate and distinct accident, so the Review Officer's contrary finding was wrong and revoked.
