See the straps around her wrist? That's what's really holding her up. I saw this on a TV special - not that woman, but a man with a mullet. He's tied up on there so he won't fall anyway (and I think he stands on a platform on the cross) and then the nails are driven through their hands (but not their feet).
I agree that it's pretty wimpy overall. Certainly Jesus Christ was a real guy (though I don't believe he was the Son of God), and certainly he was really crucified... with nails through his wrists and feet, hanging there sagging on his own body weight... this seems kinda lame in comparison.
