Surprisingly, this isn’t a warning about the dangers of nail guns, although that is a likely topic. No, it is an advertisement for goggles. The perforated firefighter was at a drill on a roof, working with a chain saw. He hit a nail that had missed the rafter. The chainsaw shot the nail upward, hitting the firefighter’s eye protection and deflecting into the nearest soft tissue, where it embedded itself a half-inch.
He’s smiling in the first photo, but don’t let that fool you—this has gotta hurt. He has every reason to be happy—he was one precaution away from wearing an eye patch and seeing things in one dimension for the rest of his life.
Doctors treated a fractured bone, and he was back at work the
next day. It pays to wear your goggles!!
