Fun with nailguns #37


Hide behind your hands:

An American man who accidentally fired a six-centimetre nail into his head in a mishap with a nailgun says he feels "very lucky" to have escaped serious injury.

[.....]

He was rushed to a hospital, where a doctor used a common claw hammer to remove the nail.

Eeeeeeeee ...

Still, not as big a headache as this woman:

Doctors at a hospital in Otwock, on the outskirts of Warsaw, called in the police after the clearly drunk expectant mother checked in to give birth on Monday.

[.....]

[T]he infant was found to have a level of 2.9 grams, police said.

In comparison, blood-alcohol limit for drivers in Poland is .2 grams.

The mother could face up to five years in prison on charges of having endangered the life and health of her child.
