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.

I dont think fucking goggles are gonna protect you from a nail gun shooting you in the head.

Even if he was wearing Goggles, The nail could easily shatter the goggles and go through to his eye.

i just dont get the caption, it says "...where an industrial incident left the poor bastard with 6 fricking nails in his head..." thats all it says, an industrial incident What kind of f**ked up sh*t goes on at these industrial places?

I bet this guy saw an old western or something and decided it would be cool to draw weapons (nail guns) via an old shoot out, but he drew too slowly, and took six to the head.

One can only hope that the damaged portions of his brain were the stupid ones, and that this will leave him much wiser towards his future actions.

Here's what happened.


Mejia, 39, was atop an unfinished home when he fell from the roof onto a co-worker who was using the nail gun, Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Mark Newlands said.


The two men tried to grab each to keep from falling, but both tumbled to the ground. At some point, the nail gun discharged and drove the nails into Mejia's head.

Is it just me, or does the thread title not make sense? I mean, in an "accident," doesn't at least something go wrong by definition?

You consider getting your cranium skewered by 6 nails from a nailgun as something going right?

When my mom was a nurse on the unit, she told us one night a guy came in with mad industrial staples on his penis. Turns out he was a factory worker, beating off at work, and got his dick caught in a machine.

No, I'm saying the thread title is redundant by saying something went wrong in an accident. It's like a headline saying "Something went wrong in plane crash, experts say." The point is, if an accident "went wrong," by definition it wasn't an accident.

But some "accidents" occur just like they were intended to, know what I mean. Thus, they didn't "go wrong" wink

Industrial accidents seldom go right people! a clear choice is to look at the situation and analize that he was beaten brutally by coworkers/police...

for Ramspoon who said that evolution will make sure he does not do this again I have to say: The fucker who gets nails driven into his skull needs to purposely let it fester and get gangreene!

But those aren't "accidents" by the technical definition. See, there's a big difference between an accident and an "accident." An accident, by definition, isn't intended, unless it has parentheses around it.

Why the fuck do some of you idiots still talk about the title like the guy who wrote it is supposed to be an English major at Yale or George Carlin, It was an ACCIDENTAL MISTAKE that everyone makes get over it. Also I seem to be one of the only ones who is happy that he survived, instead of coming at it with the thought "The fucker who gets nails driven into his skull needs to purposely let it fester and get gangrene*" Dispicable.

hey it's not that great when I say it but I think Dennis Miller could have ran with that joke...
plus just the fact that I'm willing to bet they were shooting coke cans with that gun is enough to justify the fact that carbon fiber goggles and construction helmets are to be worn at all times was definatelly not a matter here it is negligence of the worker not to have put the nail gun on tha safety position. it's like you cannot be careless by rollerblading while carrying FUCKING SULFURIC ACID!!! so GTFOMBB!!!
