Thank you for your feedback.
Of course I am aware that the "three-nails-style" is probably not the way how it was done - due to the reasons which have been mentioned now and discussed frequently before.
I was only referring to it due to the fact that this is still the dominating style in the majority of crucifixion depictions of our "christian" culture and history, in movies and art - and this clip did show that it may have been even anatomically and methodically possible, to drive a very long spike through both feet at the same location without breaking bones and it was done in a way which seemed to look in a certain way "plausible" to the audience (there is a "reason", why the nailing of the feet was shown only in very few - especially newer - Bible/Jesus-movies and clips at all..., I think).
But if the victim would not have been Jesus, who did let (according to "tradition") the crucifixion happen "like a lamb led to slaughter..." as told in the Gospels, but a victim which tried to resist and struggle with all his might, I also doubt that this method could have been performed that easily.
Same for this animated clip (which has been posted before as far as I remember), only difference is how the feet were nailed to the footrest (like used in most passion plays) and not directly to the stipes (which is the method I "prefer" for my personal "taste"). Nevertheless, thanks for reminding - good stuff can get checked out more than once
best regards
