Why do our organs fail before our bones and muscles?

Our bones and muscles are more exposed and do the heavy lifting, so why is it more common to die naturally because our organs are too old and tired?

It depends how you want to define bone and muscle failure and cause of death…

Our bones and muscles “fail” as we age; we lose muscle and bones become brittle.  Not too many old people at the gym or competing in contact sports

Falling a breaking bones is a hidden cause of death….people over 80 who break a hip have close to 20% mortality within 12 months of the break
