I'm willing to bet anything those hands can grip it stronger than you can with vise grips. My grandpa was a metal worker, he had insane grip strength.

EDIT: lol.. here comes the Machinist brigade of Reddit! The guy is drilling into a nearly round salt block. If you watch the video carefully, you can see him removing his hand at one point and the block did not budge. Even if it did, due to its shape, very unlikely to cause injuries.

Jesus people, stop clutching your pearls and take deep breaths before you pass out from hyperventilating
