J-bone, according to Wiki a cyclopropane ring is susceptible to all sorts of electrophilic addition, due to a partial double bond character. Evidently this means H+ must be present. It is also highly strained (bond angles tell the story). H-OH would add in a Markownikov manner, opening up the ring thus.
Indeed, breaking a C-C bond requires "tremendous amount of energy", but this is a cyclopropane ring we're talking about. The most strained simple cycloalkane ever.
