That type of injury is from impact, nothing to do with the strength of the ligaments.
It's not from impact, it's from the foot / ankle getting into an unnatural position. Obviously that happens most often from impact, but you could do it by going over on your own ankle with no impact at all. And every time you injure the same ligaments, the chance of doing it again rises.
