We recreated it at home too, because we've often argued whether cramps hurt more than being kicked in the balls. The show used a three minute cut off for safety (the pain is there to keep you from being damaged like frostbite), so we did too.
Chris went first. He felt pain after five seconds, and lasted about 16 sec.
John went next. He felt pain right away, but lasted 17 sec.
Then I went. I felt pain at around 30 sec and lasted until the safety cutoff at 3 minutes.
Woohoo for me! My hand really really hurt at the end, around the 2:30 mark, and it took a good 5 minutes to feel normal again. Chris and John tried again several times, but neither could get to 20 seconds. All in all, a very successful (and not so messy!) experiment.
As the show concluded, and as our home experiment confirmed, girls can tolerate WAY more pain than boys. So there!

giving birth to a child has been scientifically proven to be the most painful thing a person can endure. there's a reason that only women can do that. btw running a marathon is second. i kid you not.
They are just wimps just have to be a Harden for better results
I would have to say that I've had several scratches on my eyes years ago that sent me to the emergency room, and to me, that was even worse than childbirth. Maybe my kids love me so much, they didn't even want to hurt me too bad as they entered the world....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...That's a JOKE! :)
