Self-inflicted nail-gun injury with 12 cranial penetrations

[infidel]

I was lured to the site by "a unique instance of a severe, high-energy, penetrating orbitocranial injury caused by a solid metallic rod that corresponded to the spray valve lever handle of a kitchen sink pre-rinse spray tap, which was fractured and projected at high speed for an unknown reason" but after wobbling about the site for a bit, past chopsticks and bamboo and other foreign objects found this gem -

In this case report, the authors describe a 33-year-old man who presented with headache due to the presence of 12 nail-gun nails impacted in his cranium and cerebral parenchyma.
...
After general anesthesia had been induced in the patient, the nails were removed in the operating room.
...
This patient is the only known survivor of the largest number of foreign objects (12) to penetrate the skull intentionally. Overall, self-inflicted nail-gun injuries are less common than accidental discharges. A review of the literature, however, suggests that for penetrating brain injury, self-infliction is the more common mechanism.

Jup, some eejit up n shot himself in the head with a nailgun twelve times!!

An Oregon man who went to a hospital complaining of a headache was found to have 12 nails embedded in his skull from a suicide attempt with a nail gun, doctors say.

The man at first told doctors he had had a nail gun accident, but later admitted it was a suicide attempt.

hehehe..

The nail gun and the dizzy blond tart by the bus in the first movie get my vote. Although the opening sequences are always well produced.
