Not much need be said about this device, save that before you die, you will endure unspeakable pain. Due to the thin threading, a great many twists are required of the crank before your skull is completely crushed and death releases you. Your chin will rest on the lower bar, as the cap is placed over the top of your head, and lowered. First, there is mild discomfort, as the cap is seated firmly, though with each following turn the pressure increases. As it does, first your teeth are crushed down into their sockets and bone, finally cracking away. The next notable occurrence, aside from the hemorrhaging, is when the pressure forces your eyes from their sockets. Then at last, the pressure splits the skull, and as if from a floodgate, your brain bursts forth.
