Narrative

An employee was nailing wooden boards against the rafters in an attic with an air-actuated framing nail gun when the recoil caused the gun to kick back. The gun hit the rafter behind him and then struck and penetrated the top of his left hand. The gun was in contact actuation mode at the time of the incident.
