X-ray of the embedded nails
I don’t think you can get much luckier than Isidro Mejia, a construction-site worker, who stumbled into a colleague who was operating an automatic nail-gun. The gun shot 6 nails into him – including three in the brain and one in the spinal column. He was successfully operated on over serveral days and has already partially recovered. If the nails had been in even slightly different positions, blood vessels would have ruptured, resulting in his death.
