Newspaper article - nail in the heart

[edmund]

Sort of off and on topic - I dont' know if anyone saw this article in today's paper
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/mai...5.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/08/05/ixhome_fri.html
about the man accidentally shooting himself in the heart with a nailgun. Rather makes your toes curl just thinking about it. Hazard of using power tools. Wouldn't have happened with a good old fashioned hammer

very lucky man

 

[edmund]

lucky almost an understatement

A very close call.

"I have always loved DIY and, although this was a nasty accident, I am determined to carry on work as usual. I'll be much more careful in the future."

I bet you will.

Even a little bit more careful would be a start :lol:

Don't think he'll be getting many voluteers to help put up shelves etc. They could end up with limbs missing or becoming a permanent fixture courtesy of that nail gun
