And on the same day that he gets hit with friendly construction some
other guy is nailing Cindy Crawford.

In Jammer's defense, at least he knew when he got hit. Of course, not being
able to take that next step because his foot was nailed to the OSB would
have been a pretty good clue.

"He's the luckiest guy, ever."

I'm still trying to figure out exactly how that works... the guy had a
nailgun backfire on him and impale his brain, but he's still "the luckiest
guy ever"? Who voted on that?

He's alive, and apparently not all that damaged (although I have to
wonder how well his brain was working before the accident if he didn't
notice anything different).

Don't get me wrong... I realize that the guy is extremely lucky to be
alive. I just don't see how getting accidentally shot in the head with a
nailgun can up your "luckiness factor". I may have been able to agree with
the statement if the situation had happened on purpose... but even that is
doubtful.

I guess it's a "glass half full" versus "glass half empty" difference
in perspective. On the one hand, putting a nail in your head sucks no
matter how you look at it. On the other hand, it doesn't suck quite as
much as losing an eye and becoming a vegetable.

Regardless, I don't think I'd be buying a bunch of lottery tickets if I
were him.

Hey, he's had his 15 minutes of fame and a horrible accident that turned out
well for him. The rest of his life is likely to be ever so dull.
