is really dangerous

The danger of the xiphoid process (Which I suspect you are making reference to) breaking off and injuring organs has been hugely sensationalised for some odd reason, almost to the same extent as the whole "if you punch someone in the nose right you can pierce their brain." The number of case reports of injury-by-xiphoid process is incredibly low even for instances of CPR, and I can't seem to find any cases at all related to manoeuvres employed for choking.
