husking is just taking off the outside (usually greenish) 'fruit' part of the nut, the outer hairy husk, its easier and safer to move the coconut downward to the stationary spike, than swing a machete within inches of fingers at the handheld unstable coconut.... and its faster when you know how to do it with a spike as well.

I know a Jamaican guy who can just bounce a coconut off a large flat rock a few time within 10-20 seconds, each time rotating it a bit after catching it bouncing back up to him... it loosens up the husk, and he then is strong enough to rip off the husk by hand. He can do a dozen in a couple minutes and rarely cracks them losing water... but most people should use a spike
