[spoiler]by noticing that the wood floor was uneven and so he pounded his back to the floor several times making the floor vibrate to make the blocks of ice move slowly to the left. When Patton finally got to Tracy, he was laying still and it looked like the spike killed Tracy.
But Patton ripped Tracy’s shirt to reveal that Tracy was just unconscious for the effort and the spike got to the floor scratching him, but not seriously.

So…they would be the religious left. What’s your issue here? If you’re scratching your head trying to figure out why you never hear the term “religious left”, maybe it’s because religious people of the liberal persuasion tend less often to shout down from the pulpit how everyone else should live their lives. They’ve certainly tried less often to legislate morals in my lifetime (DOMA aside.)
And why criticize being religious? Well, how many atheistic moral crusaders have YOU ever met?
Well, I did describe worse – the impalement on a church steeple, the electrocutions – they weren’t described – they were shown, in loving detail.
Tracy escaped from the melting-ice-blocks-of-doom, by banhing on the floor enough so that the ice blocks slid slightly downhill (the floor, fortunately, wasn’t level) and the spike narrowly missed Tracy’s chest.
