The setup is simple, one man lies down on a bed of nails, another bed of nails is put on top of him which is then laid on top of by another man and so on. Once they reach their maximum amount of participants Vispy will then climb to the top of the Nail-Man sandwich and smash a thick tile with a hammer on the stomach of the man on top to complete the record.
