Can nail boards puncture my feet?Nail boards do not puncture the feet because the weight of the person's body is distributed evenly over a large number of nails, which reduces the pressure exerted by each individual nail on the skin. In physics, this principle is called pressure density. Still, practice caution when using nail boards: don’t jump on or off of them and always close the boards right after practicing to avoid running into them. As we all know, putting all your weight on ONE nail is not safe. Gradually place each foot in the middle of each board and enjoy safe practice!
