I was never caned on the hand but always dreaded it as it seems especially cruel and must be incredibly painful. There is no flesh on the fingers and precious little on the palm so I really feel that method should have been outlawed long before caning was banned altogether.
I have never understood how anyone could keep their hand out when they knew a stick was going to come whacking down across it any second – and to actually watch it coming down must have made it ten times worse! The reflexes must force you to snatch it away from any danger so how was it done? Then, of course, it was often the case that you had to hold it out again, with it stinging like crazy, for another one or even more!
