A bed of nails is placed on the chest before smashing the block with a sledge on top of the bed of nails.

 

This photograph shows a bed of nails placed nails-up on the floor. An exactly similar bed leans against the wall with a large sledgehammer in front of it. Two large sheets of insulation rest near the bed, one at the 'head' and one at one long side. A face shield sits in the foreground. A tall man in a striped shirt (Vacek) rests on the bed of nails. The bed stretches from Vacek's mid-back to his knees. His shoulders and head are supported on two sheets of insulation His arms are held out to their sides, with the elbows on the floor on either side. He is wearing the face shield. In our last frame, we saw a tall man laying on a bed of nails. In this photograph, an excited student places a second bed of nails on the tall man's chest. The tall man is wearing a face shield. His hands and arms are outside the nail beds. His head and shoulders are supported on sheets of insulation. In the foreground, a sledgehammer and a cement block promise some excitement to come. The tall man lays on a bed of nails. A second bed of nails is positioned on top of him, stretching from roughly his chest to mid-thigh. A similar bed of nails stretches below him, reaching from the same point to the same point. His arms are outside the nail beds. His hands clasp the long edges of the top nail bed. He is wearing a face shield and his head and shoulders are supported on insulation sheets. A student stands holding a sledgehammer, ready to lift it and swing. The head of the sledgehammer rests gently on a cement block. The cement block is resting on a wooden slab. The wooden slab is resting on a bed of nails slightly larger than itself. A tall man is sandwiched between that bed of nails and a second bed of nails below him. The tall man's hands rest on the outer edges of the top bed of nails. He is wearing a face shield and his head and shoulders are supported on sheets of insulation.
