Actually, pretty easy to see how it could happen. You can set those nail guns so if you keep the trigger pulled, every time the gun tip is depressed on something (human skull), the gun fires.
Just from the reflex action of his co-worker, I could see this happen.
Damn spike hairdoos!

Having owned and operated nail guns for several years now, I also have to concur with the thought of "how"....
My guns also "shoot" consecutively when you maintain trigger pressure and sometimes will shoot two at once but even that is rare. The recoil usually tries to "jar" your finger off the trigger and the gun away from the target..... I can't imagine how trigger pressure was maintained long enough for 6 nails to be imbedded in the location as shown..... even though it does shoot very quickly......
A little closer investigation seems waranted here, don't you think?

i believe the guy was on a roof and fell off the roof onto his coworker who was operating the nail gun....both fell to the ground and the nail gun kept firing into the guys skull.....that was how the story was told in other articles....

I havent seen or read anything that says he is gonna sue, so that tells me it was his nailgun.
When they interviewed him on TV, (through an interpeter, he only spoke spanish), no mention of a lawyer.

Yeah, leave it to Palmdale to have something like that happen. That happened in out "sister city" (if you could call it that) Kind of funny it made it to the BBC. The article I read said the nail gun company is looking into it to see if it had been modified at all to fire faster.
