OUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!


The bad thing is I have seen this type injury before.....

[pwrstroke2012]

Man I hate when that happens!

[Wiscampsin]

That's one lucky man considering how much worse it could have been. Now we know why some guys wear hardhats.

[TURBS]

yes he's perfectly fine as he walked on the job site today !
other than a hole in his head.

[RoadTrip]

I think he might have misunderstood the instructions: Hit the nail ON the head.

[TURBS]

TOTALLY misinterpreted those instructions !

[RoadTrip]

Guess he's just not the sharpest tack in the drawer

This was me few years ago. That is a 16d nail from a pasload airless framing gun. Can't imagine that in the head.

That sorta stuff is amazing. I ain't gonna ask just HOW it happened.

[MillerTime]

Man you guys, that's rough. I know, somehow I missed this thread.
- I've only shot my finger once, but it was on the backside of a board- so I just slid it off. Not that bad, but..... Not even thinking, I went and grabbed a bottle of rubbing alcohol and pourd on it. Didnt even think about the alcohol going staight into the blood stream. Couple minutes latter I wasn't looking or feeling too good- called it a day.
- lucky for me my day was much better than what's mentioned above!

[Bodean614]

I went to hospital and dr. Just pulled it out. I went back to work. Did suffer little nerve damage but all good now. Dr. Said I was lucky missed both bones and major blood vessels. Still have the nail. Only time I had to go to hospital in the 30 years I've been in construction.
