Would a Frozen Human Shatter Into Pieces?

In this video, we test if a frozen person would shatter like in movies. We are freezing meat a few different ways and smashing them to see if they shatter.

I mean, freezing itself would be really painful and it'd be nice and slow until it takes maybe days for the freeze get your vital innards. You'd feel like all you flesh was chipping away like painfully crusty lips but all over and a lot worse and would feel the ice crystals spines carve deep into your membranes.

I'm surprised they didn't mention the coldness of space as a theory of coldness. Can't remember the movie name but I do remember one movie in space where the characters had to get from one ship to another but they didn't have a tunnel to travel through or a suit to wear. They wrapped themselves up with several layers of insulations before diving from one ship to the other. Two made it and you can see them trying to quickly get some heat into themselves but the third guy missed the door and shattered on the side of the ship.

I already know the answer to this cause my mom loves to cook and she freezes thing like chicken and tomatoes in a super powerful freezer and a couple days later she just throws it on the counter really hard and it’ll shatter into pieces or sometime she’ll hit it with her kitchen mallet and it’ll break into little pieces
Edit: so the simple answer is YES
Edit2: if you freeze it long enough it WILL break into pieces
