Not at all, his wrist placement is fine. Doing the build up exercises will give you more than enough wrist strength for this.

Do shoulder press in the gym, if you dont have a gym, try to find some dumb bells and look up a video on how to do shoulder press. Your shoulders take a beating (In a good way). Handstand push ups are an advanced technique, i advise you master all shoulder movements before attempting this.

I can do 20 when being warm but my forehead doesn´t touch the ground. I am really vertical though. It is easier to learn the handstand through a yoga handstand. There are good vids on YT ;o)
