Employee inadvertantly fires nail into own leg

At 4:30 p.m. on December 17, 2004, Employee #1, of John Scharff Construction, was using a pneumatic nail gun on the framing of a house at a jobsite in Bel Air, CA. He was preparing to drive a nail when a coworker, Employee #2, tripped on the tool's air line. The tug on the air line caused the nail gun to hit Employee #1's leg just as Employee #1 pulled the trigger. A nail drove into Employee #1's right leg. He had outpatient surgery the same evening and was released two days later.
