Palms or wrists???
Leonardo Da Vinci discovered that the nails couldn't have gone through the palms. He tried it. The skin and fascia pulls out sliding along the tarsals and the body falls down.
Through trial and error he discovered that they had to have nailed the wrists. Then there is enough structural support to hold the body.
In examining skeletons from the day, this supposedly is true.
I read all of this on the web somewhere, so it must be true...It makes sense though.
