its interesting to learn that moves like shiho nage and kotogaishi wont take you to the ground instead your bones will snap beforehand is this really true
Actually, I'd say its likely that you would end up on the ground, but with broken/dislocated/torn/shredded body parts instead of a nice ukemi.

And...I don't recommend trying this out to see. The most dangerous Aikidoka out there is one who has learned the technique movements, but has not gained the sense of how strong each technique actually is.

This is (in my experience) usually about 4th/3rd kyu. Since this is also the time that the "showing your friends this Aikido stuff" starts to work it's very likely to injure someone outside of the controlled environment of the dojo

Be careful out there!
