Six nails embedded in the skull of construction worker Isidro Mejia, 39, after an industrial incident caused a nail gun to shoot nails into his head and brain on April 19, 2004, are seen in this X-ray image from Providence Holy Cross Hospital in Los Angeles. Five of the six nails were removed in surgery that day and the sixth was removed from his face on April 23, after the swelling went down.

The term "getting Nailed" is never going to be the same for me again.

Lots of dental work there

Incident? What sort of 'incident' causes a nail gun to move about a man's head, wildly popping nails into him from a multitude of angles?
I'm gonna guess that this incident had a first and last name, wore a hard hat, and probably wasn't too fond of poor Isidro.

That x-ray is a fake, where did you find this story and I do mean story as in fairy tail...

Same thought here. They don't just start spitting nails randomly.

Ever drop one there hairy?
Yes they do go off if dropped.
Atleast the older ones do.
-
Hairy? I've seen your picture Txmx...
We use over 50 thousand nails per day here. Nail guns need to be in contact with the receiving surface to overcome the safety switch. Assuming the safety switch was taped down or some other idiotic bypass was used, the gun would need to have the trigger pulled too.

I read this in the paper today, it's true as far as i know.

But it is very unlikely that this guy was hit that many times by accident LOL.
is the LOL a precursor to the :aok ?

MT is correct.. even ancient passloads would rarely fire even once if dropped just right... mostly they just broke..
Even if you used a stick to hold down the foot and pulled the trigger those things don't have enough power to penetrate a skull from more than a few feet away.. Nails lose velocity and stability quickly launched from nail guns..
Besides... hard to get even a 2 foot group out of em at 5 yards.

just saw the guy leaving the hospital on tv. They say he'll make a full recovery! 4 in the brain!!!!!!!! 2 just barely missed his brain stem they said.
lucky dude....

The guy fell from the rafters unto another guy holding the nail gun. The nailed guy was trying to grab the nailee to keep from falling, and as they did the balance dance, the gun made repeated contact with the nailed guys head. Or, the nailed guy tried to nail the nailee's wife, who knows?

Wow... way to completely misread the situation. This gentleman was not killed. What we can take away from this is that we need to impliment a 6 nail limit on nail guns. This seems to be the maximum nonlethal limit.

LOL
Sorry.... I guess I did get a little carried away. :D

obviously, they guy was caught cheating in the "check-pool".
-
mt... all ya gotta do is picture me loading a clip of nails and using a 2 x 4 scrap to hold down the foot and trying to hit a coke can 20 feet away...
lazs
-
duct tape will hold down the foot for ya.

MT is absolutely right we use Duo-Fast tools and there is no way that an unaltered gun would have done that. irrespective of model or mfg. year.
