Which risk increases in bird species when pneumatic bones associated with air sacs fracture during flight?

💡 Explanation

When pneumatic bones fracture, air sac function falters, reducing efficient oxygen exchange as the fractured structures compress. Therefore hypoxia potentially develops, rather than fatigue, thermal failure, or loading increase, as proper respiration relies on intact air sac-bone structure.
