He did it the day before and kept working. He at first
refused to go to the hospital but his partner insisted.

Man Shoots Himself In Head With Nailgun LA Times

"When they brought in the picture, I said to the doctor `Is this a joke?
Did you get that out of the doctors joke file?"' the 32-year-old recalled.
"The doctor said `No man, that's in your head."'

"As he was rushed by ambulance to another hospital for surgery,
he posted a picture of the X-ray on Facebook."

The only nail guns I have ever used had a safety feature which
would of prevented this. First you had to press the tip up against
a surface, then with the tip under pressure the gun fires when you
pull the trigger.

I find it hard to believe anyone is making a nail gun without this feature,
but I am no authority. If that gun will fire without being pressed against
something then I would bet there is a line of lawyers outside his hospital
room already.
