I've done carpenter work almost twenty years. I've used many nail guns, from the 16d framing guns like the one used to plant those nails in buddy's, to small trim guns.

I work in a shop full of carpenters, and showed them the x-ray of buddy's head. All of us find it hard to believe this was an accident.

Possible yes, just hard to believe.

The first instinct when one is falling with tools in hand is to throw those tools.

Yes but the victim fell onto the fellow with the nail gun.

when something falls on me my first instinct is to raise ny hands and shield myself, that would seem consistent with the injuries.

Actually, the picture made me wonder if these nail guns have an "auto" setting.
