Glad that wasn't me!

He's gonna have one helluva time trying to board any airplanes, that's for sure.

I would think his guardian angel will be putting in for overtime this week. That is simply amazing

Looks like he really "Hit the nail on the head" with that one!  ;D  :P

I can understand firing one at a time in fairly rapid succession, but why would a nailgun have a fully automatic setting?

To ensure that it stays together.

Or, in this case, to prevent you from losing your hat.

Scott that is so shockingly tasteless that....... I wish I'd said it

Wow that must give him a big headache . Maybe he was trying to become pinhead.

PS I'm Glad he is fine.

Seems a bit strange to me that a fellow could shoot himself multiple times in the BACK OF THE HEAD!  However "mysterious" the circumstances, wouldn't you expect him to have nails in his face, or at least in his chest?  Its not as if you hold the nailgun behind your head whilst using it . . .

All the years I have used or been around others using nail guns, never have I seen or heard of one firing that many times in succsesion! Sure I have used some that might double fire, but nail guns have safteys, which mean you have to lift the gun from the surface between firing. Even with the saftey device removed for it to fire like that is near to impossible. I know because we tried to get one to fire like that at work today  (not at each other) the only way we could was to manually hold the saftey open and pull the trigger!
And as far as it firing upon dropping it , it didn't. Anyway we tried every possible way to get one too fire in rapid succession to no avail???
Too me sounds like it was no accident!
Lucky man!!!

Maybe he had an achey knee and was doing a bit of self accupuncture
