@mellenstei

Paul should be reading his physics book while being the man between the boards. That way he doesn't get concrete chunks in his eyes. Plus it would make a nice inside joke.

@Miikaika25 What this demonstrates it that force dissipates when it is spread across moor surface area. We see that the apples fall through the spikes because the apples are falling on a relatively low surface area therefore the force of the apple on the spikes(and by extension the spikes on the apple) is more concentrated. With a human body his weight is distributed over the whole surface of his back meaning less force from each needle, little enough that there is no penetration.
