From what I remember, the equipment setup was all wrong. The coconuts were supposed to be individually supported to keep them from rolling around, but the production team screwed up and just lined them up like you see here on an I-beam. He shouldnt have agreed to go through with it without the correct setup.. but being on live TV puts a certain pressure on you.

Was just wondering wtf they were set up on that. One slip and you break your hand..

He slipped on the first one, pretty much just chopped a solid metal bar.

Karate chopping that steel beam must have felt great

This is what my aim is like on CSGO after not playing for a week.

His aim was decent, they just slipped away.

Reminds me of this guy trying to break watermelons with his head, which is equally cringe-inducing.

That was awful. He's going to have a traumatic brain injury. I feel so sad for him. What an absolute idiot.

Dude he smashed a metal edge as hard as he could with the side of his hand. I'd be amazed if it wasn't broken.

Yea if he would really have broken his hand, he would scream loudly and immediately STOP beating coconuts ffs, did you guys never broke a bone or sth? it hurts like mother christ.

If i could bring one thing to a deserted island, it’d be this guy. He’d probably never stop making coconut milk for the two of us. Swoon.

Watching him keep trying after hitting the support made me do a literal cringe face.

Is the record...one?

It's not just smashing his hand on the metal beam. It's the fact that it was an I-beam on it's side, so his hand hit the two raised parts of the beam. That had to fuck his hand up far more than just smashing it against a flat metal surface.

I've seen this probably 100 times, and to this day, when his hand hits the metal on that first chop, I LOSE IT.

Every time I see this, Tosh.0 freeze frame comes to mind, with that fist miss that you know had to hurt...

Ahhh yeaaa, you would think one would have actually done this in practice before actually going on video. He did show quite well how to break ones hand though... oh, and those are real coconuts, not papier-mâché this time around ;)
