Because there are so many nails that each one only has to carry a little weight, small enough not to hurt the skin. It's like walking barefoot on gravel - uncomfortable but it doesn't hurt you. One piece, sticking up - that'd hurt though.

Why can a man lie on a bed of nails without being hurt?

because they are strong! You don't have to be strong to lie on a bed of nails. The trick is a combination of pain control and physics. The pain control comes from the ability to ignore mild pain and the physics comes from the distance that the nails are spaced which evenly distributes the pressure of the weight put on them over a wide area which prevents the skin from being punctured. a bed of nails has lots of points that are close together -- there's a lot of surface area for the body to cover. Hundreds of nails support the weight of your body instead of just one. The resulting force is distributed over all of the nails, so you shouldn't be injured.


How long do the little fingers nails last?

Well little nails last a lot longer because they don't get chipped very easily and it doesn't hurt as if you had big long nails it would hurt and they would get chipped and then get caught on things then pull your nail then it would really bad. So I suggest little nails unless they are fake then you should have big nails.
