After dangling by his sack for a couple of minutes.
Twelve nails anywhere else is not as bad as one through the nut. :eek: Damn! 
The more nail gun stories I hear, the better I think of hammers. I have seen a photo of an eye with a galvanized roofing nail stuck through the iris (the nail had ricocheted off the roof, and the DIYer was not, of course, wearing eye protection) and read an anesthesia teaching case addressing the question: “How do you intubate and anesthetize a patient who has had a nail gun go off under his chin and fire a four-inch nail up into his skull, nailing his mouth shut?” (The nail head was flat against the underside of the jaw, and x-rays revealed the nail point was in the eye socket. Mercifully it didn’t puncture the eyeball.) I must say, though, this is the first story of someone nail-gunning himself to a fixed object that I’ve heard.
It happened from inside the house?
This brings up an interesting point. Browsing the weird news, I don’t find nearly as many stories about women imperiling their boobs as stories about men mangling their equipment. Some hypotheses:
-
Men are far more likely to intentionally insert their genitalia into places they were not inteded to go than women are with their breasts.
-
Male genitalia has a natural attraction for sharp and/or heavy objects
-
Breasts get into just as many mishaps, but are somehow protected from getting maimed the way the franks and beans do.
-
Debilitating breast injuries are just as common as debilitating penis/testicle injuries, but men are more frequent readers of Fark, Rotten.com and Chuck Shepard, so the dead ball stories get more airtime.
Try this on for a reason.
Most women’s boobs don’t hang down to the groin area. Thank God.
To do a comparison, you need to compare the most common factor, which means sex organ to sex organ.
…and I’d bet there are a lot more “stuck objects” ER visits for women than men. Well, perhaps not including anal.
That’s not true! I told you - I was about to vacuum the carpet when my clothes fell off; I leaned down to pick them up and that’s when the machine suddenly switched itself on.
Careful you don’t die, son.
Oh wait, are puns disallowed? What if they’re really really lame?
I just saw an update on this story. Apparently, they freed him with the help of a Hoover Dustette…

After the initial flinch, I’m contemplating the firefighter perspective:
BEEP Local box 10-71, Engine 10 to respond, address of incident 1342 Willow Drive, a domestic rescue.
Engine 10 is enroute-what do we have, County?
Engine 10, that will be a subject with his privates nailed to the roof.
Uh-repeat that last message, County? :eek:
I’m trying to visualize how it happened.
My guess is that he was facing down slope when his feet slipped out from under him and he landed on his butt. He probably put his free hand out to cushion his fall and allowed the gun to fall into his lap. So he probably would have ended up sitting on the roof with his feet out in front of him. A couple of cm to one side or the other and he would have had his beans skewered to his frank as well. :eek:
Well, this didn’t make the news but I had an incident with one of the girls recently. I was sitting in the computer chair leaning against one arm. I’m not sure the rest of the sequence of events but somehow the keyboard drawer got pulled out, I turned in the chair a little and my nipple got wedged between the arm of the chair and the keyboard drawer. The only way to free it was to pull myself out. I was afraid I had pulled it off. The pain lasted for quite a while after that and I kept having flashback pain everytime I thought of it.

I JustWonder…
Are they going to take him down, or just put a red coat and hat on him come Christmas…?
I mean, its not like he’d need to be plugged in, except if you wraped blinker-lights around him… :eek:

As a fireman and EMT I’m trying to imagine cringing and laughing my ass off at the same time responding to this call.
Maybe he should’ve read the Weird Earl’s first.
No, thank you! I haven’t laughed this hard all week!
