The nail gun was partially placed on the scissor lift sponged surface next to the controls. He extended his right towards the wall to nail a wood block of 6 in. by 2 in. The nail gun fell, and while attempting to catch it, his right elbow struck the muzzle/push lever of the gun and simultaneously either the scissor lift control knob or his left hand triggered the nail gun operating trigger lever. The victim sustained punctured wound followed by surgical removal of the nail. He was admitted on April 14, 2011, treated and discharged on April 15, 2011 from the hospital.
