Two thoughts. First, I don't think you could have been nailed through the center of your palm without breaking any bones, and I think one important thing everyone agrees on is that Jesus didn't break any bones?
Secondly, you're precisely right that the Romans knew what they were doing. They were professionals, they crucified thousands of people. They knew how to do it, they knew how to do it well, and they knew how to do it quickly. Everyone was crucified in the wrists at the ulna/radius as that provided the actual support needed so that their hands weren't torn through the nails.
Also, as you clearly are into believing all sorts of outlandish extra-biblical stories, if you are a fan of the Shroud of Turin, then you would see that there is blood at the wrists, not the palms.
I think the summary for me is that Colton, like everyone else who claims to have heaven stories, all have contradicting points in their stories where they tell mutually exclusive "facts".
Most are probably like this one: Boy Says He Didn't Go To Heaven; Publisher Says It Will Pull Book
On the other hand you may wish to do a study on the exact original words used here:
Psalms 22
Psa 22:16 :For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet."
And regarding the young near death experiencer named Malarkey, the father was making money off the book....... the father did not share the revenue with the mother...... The mother brought pastors in who did not believe in near death experience accounts and convinced the young guy that his NDE account was going against the Bible....so he agreed to do what his mother wanted him to do.....which was destroy the credibility for the book so that his father could not make any more money off it.
The original account that the father wrote up could have been genuine.... we will not know for certain until we leave this four dimensional space time continuum.
