It doesn't actually say that he'd taped the trigger, but blamed the accident
on a "backfire".
When is the last time (or even first time for that matter) that your dentist
took a full skull X-ray? Every time I've gone to the dentist all they do is
those annoying little "bite down on this" X-ray of the small area of your
mouth they are working on. Most dentists I know don't even have the
capacity to do a full skull X-ray.

Or the spin around your head thing. The "pan scan" I think. You're right,
actually. Though I suppose an oral surgeon might have a full blown X-ray
machine. Or maybe the X-ray depicted came from the surgeon who ultimately
extracted the nail, and the dental X-ray only showed a piece of it.
No, probably not. I looked at the picture again. Those pan scan things
don't show anything that high up, and neither would standard bite blocks.

Weird, how could you not feel that? If anything, he would certainly have had
a bit of blood in his mouth. I wonder how much the truth was bent, and by
who? :-)

You know how the news and Doctors exaggerate!

I guess the thought that maybe the nail itself and it's position in the
guy's head might have affected his memory hasn't occurred to anyone?
As for the dating, perhaps either the guy or his wife or fellow workers were
able to recall when he worked with his nail gun the last time?
Or maybe the whole thing is BS. Who cares?

(snip) Weird, how could you not feel that?
No kiddin' the article said he "unknowingly embedded in his skull six days
earlier" If he "unknowingly" did it, how'd he pinpoint that it was 6 days
ago? And, more importantly, how the heck did he get it through the roof of
his mouth and into his skull pointing straight up AND not realise it?
BULL! I can touch the top of my mouth with my tongue and can feel it, so I
can't imagine a framing spike blasting through the roof of my mouth and into
my skull and "not realise it". Either he was goofing off and knew exactly
what he did, or this was one helluva stupid botched suicide attempt.
I use a framing gun almost daily, and have seen quite a few accidents.
Unless the business end of the gun is very near a body part when it fires,
the nail generally sticks out, at least enough to remove it. The real
question is why did he have that gun in his mouth to begin with. That was no
"accident" , there is his story, and there is the truth. He's a TRUE

How do you have that blast into yourself and not
feel the impact
or hear the impact and bone smashing?

Pain is a very interesting thing that way. I've had plenty of things
punctured where I didn't feel any pain (including my nose, my tongue,
and several other, less "sensitive" body parts) It really depends on
how you're wired, basically. Nerve receptors aren't exact science and
you will often feel pain in the "wrong" place, especially in situations
like this. I mean, how many nerve endings are there in the top of your
mouth and your sinus cavities? As for blood, unless the nail is removed
there's no reason to expect a lot of blood either.
Still, makes you think twice doesn't it?
bkr
Just FYI: It was on CNN tonight. The story is true - he's
recovering in Hospital. They even showed the x-rays. CNN thought it
was kind of a strange event "suicide", and the hospital is quoted as
saying "no". This is the second time in the past year, that someone
has come into their hospital with a nail embeded in their head and not
knowing it. Somehow they've ruled out "suicide" as the motive.
Personally, some people shouldn't be allowed to own these toys.
