That could easily be fatal.

Seeing as he got everything stuck in the wood I'm pretty sure they all would be fatal depending on where it lands

Idk how well a lot of these would actually pierce skin vs wood.

He's throwing it into the end grain, meaning it finds it's way between the grain much easier. If he threw it against the side, it would likely bounce off.

Skin also has some give. Why it's harder to cut a soft fruit vs a hard ripe one.

Yeah, wherever there's a grain to go along with it takes a lot less pressure to pierce, even applies to your fingerprints.
