I heard about this on the radio this morning, and how it was explained was that as 1 nail came out, a 2nd backfired, and went thru the roof of his mouth. I was hoping someone would be discussing this here, but the IOTD X-ray is even better. I have seen a nail gun in use up close, tho not used one myself. I am sure there are different models, but couldn't for the life of me figure out how A) a 2nd could "backfire" due to the safety mechanisms, and B) how one wouldn't notice the obvous blood this would create upon entering the skull, no matter WHERE, and not to mention the OUCH factor...He's damn lucky this didn't get horribly infected, gross...
