I didn't know they had nail guns you could switch from manual to automatic! I thought that was against OSHA rules.

Yep. Time for him to buy some lottery tickets with that kind of luck.

Ain't that the truth. By now, I'm guessing, a dozen attorneys have already left their cards... Nat

I bet they sue the nail gun manufacturer!! And the roof shething company. Maybe, even Macdonalds.

It is. My guess is that he locked out the safety mechanism. He's lucky to be alive.

If he deliberately locked out a safety device, how can he sue anybody?

Looks to me like he was trying out the new OSHA "hardhat retainer" which is supposed to keep your hardhat in place during the strongest of gale windstorms. What a DITZ. Safety mechanisms are installed for the purpose for which they are named....SAFETY!!!!

Thats what happend,he fell onto another worker and he had the nail gun, they both fell and the other guy grabed a joist and kept from falling.Don't know exactly how he got so many nails But suspect the guy pulled the trigger trying to hold on.

You can gaurantee Cal\OSHA will be out there to investigate. Then his employer will get nailed too
