What is your worst/most idiotic Nail Gun incident

Similar, but no electrical. Building the fence, managed to nail a knot I had somehow not seen. The nail and the knot went sailing out into the bayou and came down with a splash. The gators can keep em!

Thanks, now I have to clean coffee of the monitor. LMAO

Well, it didn’t happen to me but I once saw a man staple his thumb to a piece of wood by accident. We took him to the emergency room with the wood still attached. :)

Does this qualify?
I was shooting cedar lining into a chest that was made out of mahogany. The chest was constructed using stiles around delicate fretwork. I measure how far down to go with the brad nails on the cedar lining. Then I got sidetracked. While sidetracked, I measured something else that was about two inches more than the original measurement I took for the cedar lining task. Then I went back to the cedar lining and promptly shot about ten brad nails through that delicate fretwork before I thought about what I’d done, ruining over a week’s worth of work and, not to mention the loss of wood I’d just created by ruining the project.
No, it could not be repaired. I also discovered that day just how much damage 18ga. brad nails can do to 1/4” luan plywood when fired through the back of it at a fast pace. It looked like my beautiful trunk had been in the way of a drive by shooting.

I had a finishing nail gun double fire and one ricocheted and tried to pierce my bottom lip.
