A person can lie down on a bed of nails as the bed is large and the force is distributed evenly on the bed. Thus, making a much smaller pressure.

How long can a person lie on a bed of nails?

In theory, a person could lie on a bed of nails indefinitely - the force of the body is distributed over the entire bed so there is no risk of injury from the nails. The limiting factors would be biological necessity (need to go to the bathroom, need for food/water, etc.) and the development of bed sores over several days.


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 can a person lie on a bed of nails without hurting himself?

When lying on a bed of nails, the person's weight is distributed across multiple nails, reducing pressure on any single point. The nails are also blunt and closely spaced, so they disperse the force exerted by the body. This allows the person to distribute their weight evenly across the nails, minimizing the risk of injury.
