Woman survives after shooting nail through her heart

[alkemyst]

Also it says she was firing back towards herself, for all we know it could have simply fired through the board.

Wiggins was trying to use a nail gun to secure a board at an awkward angle, with the nail gun pointing back toward hers

thats more then jessica simpson dumb.

Actually, you can set them so the nail will fire as soon as the gun "taps" the wood. I guess for some people, this option may not be the best. However, hopefully, OSHA regulations don't change because of this incident. I can see the new ruling now: "Safety goggles **and** Kevlar safety vests must be worn when using this product."

A kevlar vest won't protect you from a nail.

probably the same reason it won't protect you from an arrow....

Or knife.

Or an 18wheeler.....

Kevlar stops a bullet, but then again a bag of sand does the same.

you don't have to worry about that crap if you are undead.

Reminds me a little of a girl on Long Island. She was working at Burger King in a local Mall when a guy in the next store decided to use a Nail gun to hang pictures on the thin drywall. He blasted a Nail into the girls brain. She survived but has brain damage.

Kavouspour said Wiggins is truly lucky to be alive and without brain damage.

I think there was brain damage before this. I mean she did shoot herself by doing something stupid.
