He is really lucky. Those nails barely missed his brain stem. You can live without a lot of the other stuff in your brain, but that controls your most basic functions.

Okay, I can see the co-worker accidentally shooting one nail into his head...but six?! It's not like they're machine guns where you hold the trigger down and they keep comming out until you release it. You have to press it each time AND there's ussually a good one sec pause between each fire. Meh, don't have a penand paper handy, I'll figure out later how high they would of had to of been when they colided for the co-worker to get all 6 shots in before they hit the ground...

I use a high powered nail-gun for scene-props, and yes. They're just like machine-guns. There's a 3 second pause between it, but I can lock the trigger into place and in succession plant up to 12 nails into a board until I need to disengage and re-pull the trigger. Although some nailguns don't have locking mechanisms, they do jam quite easily, and will dispense about 4 or 5 nails repeatedly until it jams up completelly.

I've shot myself in the thumb a year or so ago, but I ended up just fine.

I remember having staple gun wars when I was helping out with the scenery construction for the school plays in high school. We were usually far enough away from each other that the staples didnt even pierce the skin though.

There was a girl at my school who got a staple in her eye as a result of something similar to this (at least according to a teacher).


But anyway, this story reminds me of another story where a guy fell off a ladder and landed on a drill that ran into his eye, and actually pushed his brain aside instead of going through it - and he never lost consciousness. That would suck far more.

Aside from what JudgeDredd said, the nails don't seem to be anywhere that'd effect his personality, possibily some memory. It's amazing how well your brain can recover.

The nails peirced; they're not like bullets. I imagine, unless they wiggled around a lot, there wouldn't be anything that couldn't be fixed, since it isn't likely too much tissue was actually removed by the nails. It's all still there, the brain just has to heal.

And the article.
This is actually older news, which is why I'm not starting a new thread for it (tempting as it may be).
It just reminded me of this article.

that guy did lose consciousness. later, during surgery, they couldn't easily pull the drill bit out, so they had to slowly unscrew it...

eek.

When I read that, it looked like it said only 3 were put in his head originally, and then it said 6 at the top. Had to read it to realize that 3 are going to be in there forever.

No, you still read it wrong. The nails themselves are 3.5 inches long, and there were six of them.
