Could Stomping on Floor lead to Overall Collapse?

Hi, good evening.

In the past couple of days, I had a hard fight with some of my friends whom were invited to temporarily live in my place, and there was one person who had been stomping on the floor with extreme force, in his slippers that is, because he didn’t know where to release his anger. The irony is that I had to do the same thing back to him for how much I hated to get intimidated like that. Now as we eventually found a way to reunite, what I am more concerned about is the damage we did to the floor, I have no idea what was broken and where did we give a crack to.

It is a newly built house, so I am wondering if stomping on the floor like that would ever cause any damage to the structure? I know I am pretty ignorant on this, so I would be very appreciated if pros can help out. Thanks in advance.

@opssss5,
I'm not a professional but I doubt that I have to be. The floors of your house are designed to hold a few thousand pounds (think about how you can fit 20 people on one story without it collapsing). Unless your pal weighs a ton, he won't be able to exert that kind of force, no matter how hard he stamps.
