In GotG1 it was established that if you weren't physically durable enough a stone would just kill you. Which is why a lot of people probably put them into a proxy object (the Tesseract, Spear, Ronan's hammer, etc). You can see it in IW whenever Thanos adds a stone on screen, he gets subjected to a lot of pain and you can even see his veins glow.
