I would put my broom handle in her tube.

The force is probably divided 100 ways , each little salt crystal gets pushed in a slightly different direction. I believe the same principle allows people to lay flat on beds of nails without getting hurt.

You do the same when blasting.... drill the holes in the rock, insert your charges, back fill the hole with sand, and the blast bursts out craterwise - it fractures sidewards and blows outwards.

@FailBlob

I'd like to see her stick her own broom in her own tube.....
