A person can lie down on a bed of nail without getting injured because the area of the bed is large, so the force is distributed evenly on the bed thus make the pressure is smaller. Pressure = force / area.

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.

Why would a man lay on a bed of nails and not on one nail only?

The gist of this famous variety-show trick is that when the entire surface of the body is distributed evenly over closely-spaced nails, no puncture occurs, whereas it would occur easily if the whole weight of the body came down on one nail.
