I kind of surprised that no one has speculated that this would seem to be an
*incredibly* unlikely accident. I mean, shoot yourself in the *back* of the
head repeatedly??

Having said that, I've never used a nail gun but it looks a lot more like
attempted murder than an accident to me.


It looks like this incident is one of the ones to feature in
Channel 4's 101 Things Removed from the Human Body, on Monday
at 22:50. In the preview, I think I might have also seen the
case of the guy who fell off a ladder with a long drill bit,
which he landed on and went through his eye and out the side
of his head. Probably not a programme suitable for TV dinner;-)
