Crushing a skull?

From that one corner from my mind, I think it was 1/4 ton of force, but that is from breaking it, not entire crush it. You may search for it on google or even youtube (there's a few interesting scientist experients there).
 
Yeah, around 1/4 of a ton, although as I said, I think is just cracking it, not crushing it completely, but isn't definitively not 390 tons of force, 5 tons is already enough to crush a whole human (so I believe that crushing a skull is below that).
 
390 tons is the weight is like over 2 times the weight of a blue whale... I rather use the common sense, don't really trust that calculation. Although, considering that people has survived strikes from baseball after being stroke, that according to that one video of Sport Science it yield a force of 2500 kgf, would say they wouldn't be crush by a force below that (although, the difference between a human and a doomie is that tye first one tends to absorb impact).
 
We use several calcs of a similar caliber for a lot of characters, just saying, skull crushing is a common feat
 
Just suggest to use a little of common sense, crushing skulls was a feudal punishment, and I highly doubt executioner used something with tye mass of a blue whale to do so. Plus, that would make crushing a skull over 1k times the force to break a good quality baseball bat, 950 times the force to break a femur, 255 times to rip the head of and 3.8 times the force to rip the spine.
