How does Phil's death even work?

[blah]

I always thought it was cool, but never knew how it made sense. So Chucky keeps him hanging by the hook, but didn't the step he was on and the steps he were near break? And the bannister too? How could he hold him up? 

I always wanted a wide shot, so we could see little Chucky holding up Phil in the same frame.

[blah]

No takers?

No idea, the novel had it a little different I think, it confused me a little because it almost seemed like Chucky stabbed him in the crotch with the hook thing first.
