What happens here

This project demonstrates a real-world strength test for different types of fasteners (ring shank nail, smooth shank nail, and screw) when subjected to a load. The fasteners are installed into oriented strand board (OSB), and then a person applies their body weight to a cantilevered platform secured by these fasteners to observe which ones fail and which hold, concluding that screws offer superior holding power in OSB under this type of stress.

All right, we got a ring shank, a smooth shank, and a screw. Let's put them to the test. Well, they all held. The screw held out of the OSB. Maybe I should have used plywood.
