An associate had a run in with a framing nailer the other day...

Contributory factors include fatigue, knot, doubled, and subsequent split
that sent the 10d nail out the side of the framing lumber and into the
meat
of the thumb/palm. Meat only... missed the bones and tendons.

Note that my negative scanner is not big enough to scan a 13"x18" x-ray
so I
had to merge multiple scans in Photoshop... only the second time I tried
this so don't be too critical. ;~)

You can see the whole nail and no fractures, did the nail miss all the
bones? Looks like he was a Luck guy.

Missed all the bones and tendons... I don't think someone could do that if
they tried! It was a case of good luck in a bad luck situation.
