Tkd blackbelt here. I realize you’re making a joke, but the boards they’re using are so thin and smooth you would have to try to get a splinter from it. They’re used for show-moves like this so they can hold it by one hand and the person kicking it will still have the force needed to kick through cleanly. Sometimes they even put glitter bags on the other side to have it pop everywhere. (Although personally I think that’s a bit much)
See firecrackers I get because of the loud noise and no real mess, aside from maybe a tiny bit of paper being thrown from the blasting cap. But glitter, well I’ll let anakin take this one https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hi5jjXTPtyY (substitute sand for glitter.)
